Import Certificate

Question

Hi,
I found this code to import a certificate from disk:
https://stackoverflow.com/questions/33899509/x509-certificate-installation-using-vb-net

Anyway, can't figure out how to set store location: "MY", "AddressBook", "CA" or "Root"

2nd: StoreLocation.CurrentUser vs LocalMachine, when we import via IE or Firefox, it'll be imported to which one, CurrentUser or LocalMachine?

Answer 1

Hi @OSVBNET ,
According to Local Machine and Current User Certificate Stores.

• Local machine certificate store
  This type of certificate store is local to the computer and is global to all users on the computer. This certificate store is located in the registry under the HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE root.
• Current user certificate store
  This type of certificate store is local to a user account on the computer. This certificate store is located in the registry under the HKEY_CURRENT_USER root.

Refer to the documentation below to set the storage location.
