SignerCertStore Property

The name of the certificate store for the client certificate.

Syntax

claimsauthcontrol.SignerCertStore[=string]

Default Value

"MY"

Remarks

The name of the certificate store for the client certificate.

The SignerCertStoreType property specifies the type of the certificate store specified by SignerCertStore. If the store is password protected, specify the password in SignerCertStorePassword.

SignerCertStore is used in conjunction with the SignerCertSubject property in order to specify client certificates. If SignerCertStore has a value, and SignerCertSubject or SignerCertEncoded is set, a search for a certificate is initiated. Please refer to the SignerCertSubject property for details.

Designations of certificate stores are platform-dependent.

The following are designations of the most common User and Machine certificate stores in Windows:

In Java, the certificate store normally is a file containing certificates and optional private keys.

When the certificate store type is PFXFile, this property must be set to the name of the file. When the type is PFXBlob, the property must be set to the binary contents of a PFX file (i.e. PKCS12 certificate store).

If the provider is OpenSSL, the certificate store is a file containing a certificate and a private key. This property must be set to the name of the file.

To read or write binary data to the property, a Variant (Byte Array) version is provided in .SignerCertStoreB.

This property is not available at design time.
