Hi everyone,

I think the Hand On Lab is great. Everything looks fine after running through it. But now I have 2 problems that I cannot solve:

1) I tried to replace Server Private.pfx and Server Public.cer with my own cerificates generated by makecert.exe, but I keep getting the "bad key" exception in my client side. I followed all the steps in the hands on lab, including giving ASPNET the right to access my own private key, and copy the key directly from the X509 Cert Tool but still I get the "bad key" error. It's pretty weird because once I replace the key with the Server Private.pfx key, everything works fine. BTW, I am still using Client Private.pfx.

2) I think Win 2000 does not have Other People Store. Although there's a tab in IE for Other People, it doesn't import into the Other People store, no matter it's done in IE or the console.

Thanks for any comments and advise. Have a nice day!
