I have a certificate generated via MakeCert. I want to use this certificate for WCF message security using PeerTrust. How can I programmatically install the certificate into the "trusted people" local machine certificate store using c# or .NET?
I have a CER file, but can also create a PFX.
I believe that this is correct:
using (X509Store store = new X509Store(StoreName.TrustedPeople, StoreLocation.LocalMachine))
{
store.Open(OpenFlags.ReadWrite);
store.Add(cert); //where cert is an X509Certificate object
}
The following works good for me:
private static void InstallCertificate(string cerFileName)
{
X509Certificate2 certificate = new X509Certificate2(cerFileName);
X509Store store = new X509Store(StoreName.TrustedPublisher, StoreLocation.LocalMachine);
store.Open(OpenFlags.ReadWrite);
store.Add(certificate);
store.Close();
}
