| | Importing root certificates in Vista Hi all. I was trying to import a root certificate into Vista. I've observed that when the automatic certificate store selection (my OS is in Spanish, sorry if it isn't exactly) option in activated, the cert is stored into intermediate CAs store and not into root certificates store. Windows XP doesn't present this behaviour. I've finally selected the store manually. Do you know why this feature has been implemented like this? It's just curiosity... Thanks in advance, Juan. |

| | Re: Importing root certificates in Vista Ok... but why a root certificate "has to live" (by default) into the intermediate store? That's what i don't understand... is there any security issue related with this behaviour? That's what i really mean with my question. Sorry, but my English is really, really ugly :-P Thanks in advance :-) On 24 abr, 00:29, "Haitao Li" <lht1999 [at] hotmail.com> wrote: > Yes, it was implemented this way in Vista. > > "Juan Segarra" <juan.sega...@gmail.com> wrote in messagenews:1177257357.616217.252180@b75g2000hsg.googlegroups.com... > > > Hi all.

| | Re: Importing root certificates in Vista Hi I have the same problem with Vista. I try to install a CA certificate manualy in Trusted Root Certification Authorities, but it goes in Intermediate and not helping me to install the second certificate, which is a client one. What should be the problem?
