Hello,

How can i add a certificate based authentification to the windows credential manger on a windows 10 IoT LTSC 2021 device? If i open the credential manager, windows security is always asking for a pin or smartcard. No way to add a device certificate located in the local machine store.

    Hi,

    The certificates have to be saved in the Personal store in the Credential Manager.

    You can select More Options to show all the valid certificates in the Personal Store.

    Best Regards,
