Certificate Setup

This section describes how to install sample certificates to support code samples and labs. Labs that require certificates will include a note requesting that you complete this section before you begin.

Sample Certificates

When you import certificates to the certificate store, you must choose a particular certificate store. In the labs and code samples for this book, I am using the LocalMachine as the “server” store for certificates, and CurrentUser for “client” certificates. Table A-2 provides a list of certificates used by the code in this book and the appropriate location for installation.
