Install SSL Certificate on Windows (silent mode)

Hi

I've got to install a number of SSL certificates on local machines and i wanted to install them silently, the following command is the only way i've found to so far.



The main problem is you get prompted to install the certificate and have to go through the list.

Is there anyway to do this silently? I know whats being installed so i dont need to do the long install via the Windows Wizard.

Thanks, Steven.

I've had the same problem.
Try to use program, which is called certmgr, it comes from Microsoft site's and there's a documentation for it. By the way I think it's not so ideal (just like Microsoft :-) ), but helpfull because it dosen't show so many comunicates.
You can put certificate in CA strore by giving command
certmgr /add certificate.cer /s CA
If you want push in another store use root or my etc.
If you push an CRL add an option /CRL

If you want delete certificates use command certmgr /del /all /s CA - but be carefull it removes ALL certs. If you want save some read in documentation, but it has some problems with it and don't work perfectly (better using Windoza Expoting).

But one problem of it - I don't know how to automatize auto-choose system store :-(
And there's only one communicate, when you try to adding cert's to root store.

Hi

I came across certmgr before on the Microsoft web site but was unsure on where to download it from.

Is it part of any of the Platform SDK's?

Thanks, Steven.

I get it from page

http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/...&displaylang=en

It's in codesignx86.exe (on the bottom of page)

If youy've problem with tis page type "codesignx86.exe" in google.

CertMgr can be run from shell and by clicking. If you click on it you see standard Windows call. By shell it's possible to give parameters.

Seems as if certmgr from the Microsoft site will do what i like but will take a look at the second as well.

Thanks for your help.

Using certmgr to silent install certificates but one has a password, is there a way to pass that? or any other options to silently install? Thanks

Shouldn't this be moved to the Windows NT/XP/2000 forum?
