I have code that using the X.506 Digital Certificates uses the X.509
certificates that are distributed with WSE 2.0 SP1 (Server Private.pfx,
etc..). The code works perfectly when using the certificates that are
distributed with WSE 2.0 SP1.

When I try to use my own generated test certificates I get errors such as
"Bad Key".

I have tried different variations of test certificate generation without too
much success. The following is one scenario that I have used:

These are the tools required.

* makecert.exe
http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/cptools/html/cp
grfcertificatecreationtoolmakecertexe.asp

* cert2spc.exe

* pvkimprt.exe http://office.microsoft.com/downloads/2000/pvkimprt.aspx 

Here are the steps:

1. First, use makecert.exe to create the *.cer file and the *.pvk file

2. Next, use cert2spc.exe (also ships with the VS.NET SDK) to convert the
*.cer file to an *.spc file

3. Finally, use pvkimprt.exe to create a *.pfx file from the previously
created *.spc and *.pvk files.

I have tried to use makecert.exe by itself as well. Perhaps I am missing
something.

What I am looking for is if anyone has been successful in making certificate
with a private key that works properly with WSE 2.0 SP1. If so, could you
please reply with specifically what you did in order to generated and import
the certificate.

Thanks in advance....
