Certificate Store Locations

Each certificate locations consists of a collection of:

1. System Stores

Multiple certificate system stores exist in the system, and are categorized and stored in multiple locations.  To access a certificate store, click the following in the toolbox menu.

Alternatively, to access these using the menu, click the following

• Certificate Store User Key Set.  The Certificate Store available to the logged on user.
  • Menu: View > Certificate Store > User Key Set
    
• Certificate Store Machine Key Set.  The Certificate Store available to the local machine..
  • Menu: View > Certificate Store > Machine Key Set
    

Certificate stores are opened using the default Cryptographic Service Provider (CSP) displayed at the top most node of the tree.  This CSP is used to provide the security services applied by the certificate store or digital certificates in the store.

To open certificate stores using a different CSP:

1. Browse the "Cryptographic Service Providers" list, and highlight the CSP to use.
2. Right click at the highlighted CSP, and in the popup menu select Certificate Operation.

When opening the certificate store, eSecurityConsole attempts to open a default key container belonging to the CSP selected.  If none are found or no default key container could be opened then eSecurityConsole attempts to add a new key container called :"FrameworkEDI_Secure_Context_00" whereby it can use the key container to provider the security services.  If this fails then the certificate locations will fail to display.
