ASP.net permissions to root certificate store

Question

Is it possible to give asp.net read permission to the certificate store?

If yes , how?

If no... do I need to set the permission manually per certificate file

Answer 1

Don't really like answering my own questions, but one simple way to get rid of this error is just to give network service full access to the c:\drive, and propagate permissions down.

You'll shoot me down I know, telling me how bad this is - but it works.
