Hi,

I am writing an application in VC++ that reads out certificates from a
smartcard and place them in MyStore in order to use them together with a self
develop csp for sll. The problem I’am having is to distingue CA or ROOT cert
from ordinary certs in order to decide in which store to put them.

Can anybody help me find an easy way to determine if a cert is a root or ca
cert?

Thanks
/Mats
