hello

no problem - thank you.

there are two ways how to solve my question.

1. keygenflags in ieCSR.vbs.

by using the value 67108866 the private key
is marked as non exportable and a dialogue letting user
to choose the level of private key protection is displayed.

by using the value 67108864 the private key is also marked as non
exportable and the dialogue letting user to choose the
level of private key protection is not displayed. the level is set to - no
protection at all.

so i obviously am setting/unsetting some of theese flags:

0x00000001 CRYPT_EXPORTABLE
0x00000002 CRYPT_USER_PROTECTED

does anybody know what exactly means flag 0x00000002 CRYPT_USER_PROTECTED
and how the values are composed (67108866 or 67108864).

does anybody know if there is a flag to set password on private key ?

2. there should be better way to solve my question - to use openssl
extfile on CA and fill in extension for non exportable certs. does anybody
know how such and extension looks like and how to eventually format it
for openca openssl extfile ? is that method usable for private
keys generated on clients ?

thank you for any hint.
