The password is incorrect when import pfx certificate into certificate store

Question
-
Hi everyoneI used the following command to create a pfx file:makecert.exe -r -pe -sky exchange -n "CN=MyTestClient.com" MyTestClient.cer -sv MyTestClient.pvkpvk2pfx.exe -pvk MyTestClient.pvk -spc MyTestClient.cer -pfx MyTestClient.pfxIn the process, I am forced to enter the private key password, and I entered the same password.After that, I use mmc to import the pfx file into root store and again, the prompt dialog appeared and forced me to enter private key password, I enter the same password as before, however, a error dialog showed and indicating the password is incorrect.What is the problem??Can anyone help?Thanks~Deepblue

Hi,
My case could be different. However I found the similar issue and it is getting solved.
It works properly by passing the password into the command instead of supplying it on the dialog.
I did these:
1. makecert -sv MyTestClient.pvk -n "CN=MyTestClient.com" MyTestClient.cer
2. set the private password, e.g. p4sswd
3. pvk2pfx -pvk MyTestClient.pvk -pi "p4sswd" -spc MyTestClient.cer -pfx MyTestClient.pfx -po "p4sswd"
Hopefully it is helpful

Hi,
The question relating to makecert.exe is beyond the scope of c# forum, I'm going to move the thread to off-topic forum.
Please try to post to .net framework tool newsgroup , you will get better answer from experts there:
