Gets and sets the name of the server certificate store or file.
Syntax
object.CertificateStore [= store ]
Remarks
This property sets the name of the certificate store that contains
the server certificate that should be used when accepting secure client connections. The certificate may either be stored in
the registry or in a file. If the certificate is stored in the
registry, then this property should be set to one of the following
predefined values:
| Store Name |
Description |
| CA |
Certification authority certificates. These are certificates
that are issued by entities which are entrusted to issue
certificates to other individuals or organizations. Companies
such as VeriSign and Thawte act as certification
authorities. |
| MY |
Personal certificates and their associated private keys for
the current user. This store typically holds the client
certificates used to establish a user's credentials. If a
certificate store is not specified, this is the default value
that is used. |
| ROOT |
Certificates that have been self-signed by a certificate
authority. Root certificates for a number of different
certification authorities such as VeriSign and Thawte are
installed as part of the operating system and periodically
updated by Microsoft. |
In most cases the certificate will be installed in the
user's personal certificate store, and therefore it is not necessary
to set this property value because that is the default location that
will be used to search for the certificate. This property is only used
if the CertificateName property is also set to a valid
certificate name.
This property may also be used to specify a file that contains the
certificate. In this case, the property should specify the full
path to the file and must contain both the certificate and private key
in PKCS12 format. If the file is protected by a password, the
CertificatePassword property must also be set to specify the
password.
