[ACCEPTED]-Install certificates in to the Windows Local user certificate store in C#-certificate-store
Accepted answer
Turns out you first need to impersonate 5 the user.
Using the very nice library described 4 in A small C# Class for impersonating a User, you can do the following:
using (new Impersonator("username", "", "password"))
{
try
{
X509Store serviceRuntimeUserCertificateStore = new X509Store(StoreName.My);
string baseDir = AppDomain.CurrentDomain.BaseDirectory;
string certPath = Path.Combine(baseDir, certificateFolder);
string certificateFile = "c:\\file.cert";
string certificatePassword = "somePassword";
string certificateLocation = certPath + "\\" + certificateFile;
InstallCertificate(certificateLocation, certificatePassword);
}
catch (Exception ex)
{
Console.WriteLine(ex);
}
}
private static void InstallCertificate(string certificatePath, string certificatePassword)
{
try
{
var serviceRuntimeUserCertificateStore = new X509Store(StoreName.My);
serviceRuntimeUserCertificateStore.Open(OpenFlags.ReadWrite);
X509Certificate2 cert;
try
{
cert = new X509Certificate2(certificatePath, certificatePassword);
}
catch(Exception ex)
{
Console.WriteLine("Failed to load certificate " + certificatePath);
throw new DataException("Certificate appeared to load successfully but also seems to be null.", ex);
}
serviceRuntimeUserCertificateStore.Add(cert);
serviceRuntimeUserCertificateStore.Close();
}
catch(Exception)
{
Console.WriteLine("Failed to install {0}. Check the certificate index entry and verify the certificate file exists.", certificatePath);
}
}
Please add 3 your own exception handling. If you're adding 2 multiple certificates keep the X509Store 1 open for the duration for efficiency.
