Hi all,
I was wondering if it was possible to programmatically create a
self-signed X.509 Certificate using the .NET framework?
After playing around with certificates for a bit, I ended up installing
the Web Service Enhancements 2 which provides support for access the
certificate store. But I have not been able to find any code/classes
which facilitate certificate creation.
For the moment I have used makecert.exe and pvkimprt.exe to create a
PVK file with a self-signed certificate, which includes a private key,
and imported that in to the store.
Any help or pointers on how I can go about doing this would be greatly
appreciated.
Regards,
Diego

Hi !
I am struggling since ages with the makecert problem. I have followed
the steps (of the link below) after installing platform SDK as
suggested in your link, but the moment I do the first step, I get this
error:
Error: Can't create the key of the subject ('JoeSoft')
Failed
I would be very thankful, if anyone can please let me know the answer.
Thanks
