Hi,
I import my pkcs12 personal certificate (openssl generated) into IE5.5. It
takes it without a problem and puts everything in its place: CA cert,
personal cert, private key.
The problem is that once I set up the initial security level on the private
key (low, medium, high, and the password for 'high'), I can no longer
change it.
Removing the associated personal certificate and CA certificate does not
remove the private key. I had to nuke the registry and re-install to get
the priv key security dialogs back. Is there a cleaner way?
The only documented way to change the level is to delete the container
and recreate it.
You can do things by deleting the key container at a CryptoAPI level,
but you need a fair knowledge of CryptoAPI to do that.
I recall Outlook (maybe Outlook express too) had an option to delete the
key when it was exported, you could try that.
Steve.
