makecert

For some reason I am missing makecert.exe on my system. I searched the whole hard drive and it's not there. In particular, it's not in C:\Program Files\Microsoft SDKs\Windows\v6.0A\bin where I believe it's supposed to be. I haven't found any articles on this topic on the Internet. Any ideas what's going on? makecert.exe is also installed as part of Windows SDKs. For example it is available under \Program Files\Microsoft SDKs\Windows\v7.0A\bin for the Windows 7.0A SDK. Just to note this as to save you an hour or so of frustration. In Windows 8 SDK, the path is: \Program Files (x86)\Window Kits

How can I create a certificate using makecert with a 'Subject Alternative Name' field ? You can add some fields eg, 'Enhanced Key Usage' with the -eku option and I've tried the -san option but makecert doesn't like it. This is a self-signed certificate so any method that uses IIS to create something to send off to a CA won't be appropriate. Makecert doesn't appear to support SANs so I created a certificate with SANs for use with IIS using OpenSSL. Check out my post about it. http://andyarismendi.blogspot.com/2011/09/creating-certificates-with-sans-using.html An even easier way is to use the

I did a clean install of windows 10 and visual studio 2015 and did not find makecert.exe anywhere. Does some other software need to be installed to get this program back? I looked in all the folders under "C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft SDKs\Windows\\" and did not see it in any. I also opened the "Developer Command Prompt for VS2015" and tried running "makecert" but it was not found. Install the Windows SDK for Windows 10 . If you still can't find it, try the Windows Driver kit . komsky As ShaneH answers in this question makecert.exe has been deprecated, and we should use powershell

Here's my situation: I'm trying to create a SSL certificate that will be installed on all developer's machine's, along with two internal servers (everything is non-production). What do I need to do to create a certificate that can be installed in all of these places? Right now I've got something along these lines, using the makecert application in Microsoft Visual Studio 8\SDK\v2.0\Bin: makecert -r -pe -n "CN=MySite.com Dev" -b 01/01/2000 -e 01/01/2033 -eku 1.3.6.1.5.5.7.3.1 -ss Root -sr localMachine -sky exchange -sp "Microsoft RSA SChannel Cryptographic Provider" -sy 12 mycert.cer However, I

I have a certificate generated via MakeCert. I want to use this certificate for WCF message security using PeerTrust. How can I programmatically install the certificate into the "trusted people" local machine certificate store using c# or .NET? I have a CER file, but can also create a PFX. Demi I believe that this is correct: using (X509Store store = new X509Store(StoreName.TrustedPeople, StoreLocation.LocalMachine)) { store.Open(OpenFlags.ReadWrite); store.Add(cert); //where cert is an X509Certificate object } The following works good for me: private static void InstallCertificate(string
