Hello Dominick -

Thanks for the reply. That is exactly what I want to do, except I
want to do it myself in C#. If you have source code (in any language)
that does the same thing, is there any way you could make that
available?

Thanks!

Hello-

I have a web service that uses a certificate to call another web
service. When we install this web service on a new machine we often
get an error message stating the machine does not have access to the
Private Key. To remedy this situation I am writing a small utility
to ensure the private key has appropriate rights. However, I am
finding it difficult to retrieve the private key file based on an
X509 Certificate in C#.

Does anyone know if it is possible, given an X509Certificate object
to find the windows file location of the private key corresponding
to that certificate, in C#?

Thanks!

Drew
