Phil,

You can check/change the permissions on a key container with the
WinHttpCertCfg.exe.

Instructions on how to get the tool are here:

| Thank you for your posts.
|
| I applied the suggested permissions and it did not help.
| I still get the same symptom.
|
| I posted the question below several times in this
| thread, unfortunately with no answer. If someone could
| reply I would appreciate very much:
|
| How could I check the actual permission applied
| to a crypto container?
|
| Also, I couldn't find any information on how and
| where are stored crypto containers?
|
| Thank you
|
| Phil. Ten.
