hi,
question is what you need to read pkcs7
or pfx file.
in my opnion the only thing you can generate is pkcs#7 encoded data of the
cert and send it to client pc
on client side they have planty of options:
1) create acert store from the file read the certs from that store
2)can use xenrol (ICEnroll::acceptFilePKCS7)
hope this felps
