W2K, MMC - Certificate install impossible

hey gang,

i am a developing webapp that requires a client-side certificate in
order to consume our partner's webservice. i have finished this app
and, on Windows XP, i can install their cert via MMC and everything is
honky dory.

but on a Windows 2000 Server (W2K), things are not. While using MMC to
install the .pfx cert on the Local Machine, i get this:

"An internal error occured. The private key that you are importing
might require a cryptographic service provider that is not installed on
your system."

now ive done some research and have found the following MS posting:

http://support.microsoft.com/k*b/313494

....but it says thats only on SP1 & SP2, and to install the latest SP.
our machine has Service Pack 4 (SP4) installed. so, its not that easy.

can anyone help?
thanks!
matt

Hi all, Happy New Year. I am using SignedXML and an X509 certificate to digitally sign a SOAP message body and put the signature in the SOAP header for a B2B business application. Can you suggest which type of digital certificates from VeriSign is for this purpose? I checked VeriSign's web site but didn't find it obvious to decide.

Hi, My c#-prog shall call some https URLs at our webserver. It has a self-signed certificate. I also use IE per COM-Control to call a website at our server (also https). How can I install the certificate programmatically through setup or in the program itself in windows (or ie) to get rid of the security-warnings? I wrote an own IServiceProvider but the IE.Navigate Calls always show the warnings to install the certificate.

Hello, I've been struggling with this for couple of days now. All I want to do is to enable SSL protocol on the webserver. I want to be able to generate and sign my own certificates. I used various tools to do that, such as makecert.exe from .NET SDK and even downloaded OpenSSL and generated certificates using that. I installed my own certificates on IIS, but SSL simply wont work with any of mine certificates. I get an error in server's...

<extreme frustration> I have googled and read about this, but can't seem to get a grip on it. Apparently I am being coerced into digitally signing applications. Is this true? What if I don't want to? The basic question is: If I click the "Create Test Certificate" button on the Signing tab of the properties for my application so I can publish it, what happens when I distribute the application?

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...

Let's talk about the concept of autonomous AI software engineers and no-code agents. These AIs are designed to manage the entire lifecycle of a software development project—planning, coding, testing, and deployment—without human intervention. Imagine an AI that can take a project description, break it down, write the code, debug it, and then launch it, all on its own.... Now, this would greatly impact the work of software developers.
