Importing certificates does not work on Vista:



I have Vista client PCs in a workgroup. I am logged into them as
Administrator. When I try to import a certificate by doubleclicking on the
CA certificate I want to import (I put it on the desktop or the C drive or
whereever) and using the import Wizard, the import says it is successful but
does not actually do anything. The same thing happens if I try to import
any certificate from the web enrollment website of the CA (CA is
standalone).

I have noticed that when this does NOT work, in the "Completing the
Certificate Import Wizard" window, it shows the Certificate Store Specified,
the Content, and the File Name. THE FILENAME IS BLANK.

The only time this does work is if I go to the certificate store, right
click and start the Import Wizard from there. Then the import really does
work and the File Name area actually shows the certificate file location
(c:\users...\certifcate.cer)

Anyone else run into this? Is there something I need to do in Vista to make
this work right?

Thanks!

Kristin
