Select a CSP
You can select a cryptographic service provider (CSP) when requesting a personal certificate,
regardless of the method. You can also designate a default CSP to use for all personal certificate
requests.
1. In the Security Policy Editor, click Options>Certificate Settings. The Online or File-based
Certificate Request dialog box opens.
2. Click Advanced. The Advanced Certificate Enrollment Settings dialog box opens.
3. Click the specific CSP in the list.
4. If the Key Size box is enabled, click the key size to use.
5. To designate the settings on this dialog box as the default for all personal certificate requests,
select the Save as default CSP settings check box.
6. By default, the Place certificate and keys in local machine store check box is clear, which
places the imported certificate in your—the logged-on user's—personal certificate store.
Unless your network security administrator instructs you to change it, accept the default.
Caution: In Windows NT and Windows 2000 and XP, you must be logged on as
administrator or its equivalent to add this certificate to the local machine store.
7. Click OK.
