Thanks for you answer,

However, this is the case when creating the certificate from IE for
instance.
What I was asking is the case where my organisation is a CA issuing
certificates for our clients using MS Certificate Server..But I guess it's
the same, it depends on the machine running MS Certificate Server.?
What about the Session key if I use the CryptoAPI what can be the length?
Thanks
Eric
