Hi All
This may have been covered previously, and if so, please point me to that, but, here's where I'm running into a wall. My goal is to be able to use a client certificate, without having to type in a password every time I visit my site. Currently, I'm just in a test lab, so, nothing production (or even public) that I can show anybody. I have created a self-signed ca root cert, and then used that to create a client cert.
I have exported my client key/cert into a .p12 file
I have imported my ca.crt and .p12 files into IE successfully.
When I import the .p12 cert, I cannot seem to *not* assign it a password; I also cannot seem to change the security settings on it.

End result, IE seems to be forcing me to type in a password to access the cert that I have imported.

I have created the key/cert with password, and exported to .p12
I have tried re-creating the key/cert with no passwords, and exporting that to .p12
I have tried the above, and exported to .p12 with no export password.

In all cases, IE's import wizard will not let me import the .p12 without setting an access password, and will not let me visit the test site without giving said access password.

My goal is to be able to give out a client cert to allow specific people to visit, without their having to enter a password, and this seems to be breaking...

Anybody have similar experiences??

Thanks!!
