Re: httpcertcfg for server 2008

If it doesn't work for some weird reason, this can be done with other
methods. You basically just need a way to identify the private key file in
the machine key directory and then you can modify the permissions using the
Windows shell.

Dominick Baier wrote a little tool in .NET that uses the framework's built
in GUI for displaying certificates to allow you to pick one and then
programmatically finds the machine key file and opens the Windows shell
properties page directly to the file for you. He had the source up on his
blog a while ago.

You can even make an educated guess on which file is the private key file if
you check the machine keys directory right after you install the
cert+private key as the date on the file will coincide. I've used this
approach successfully before.

And if you are going to ask why I need this tool, it is because I have
some .net web service code that accesses a remote secure URL that is
protected by client digital certificates. In Server 2003, I had to install
the client cert in the computer certificate store and then use this tool
to give IIS_WPG rights to the certificate. Only then would it work. I am
trying to do the same in Server 2008 now.

TIA!

Hi all,

Is the httpcertcfg utility available for Server 2008? If yes, where
can I get it from?

TIA!
