programmatic API equivalent of certutil.exe

[C Low]

Hi

We have a application server that needs to invoke certain cert-related
operations (eg; verify, publish or revoke a cert) on a remote Microsoft CA.
Currently, our only solution is for the application to make a "command line"
call to "certutil.exe".

Does anyone know if there's a programmatic API that offers equivalent
features as "certutil.exe"?

Thanks!

Search MSDN for CryptoAPI.

CryptoAPI is just for the crypto operations and doesnt know anything
about cert operations on remote or local CAs.

Have a look at the ICertAdmin, ICertConfig, etc DCOM interfaces at

Thanks all .. "ICertAdmin2" seems to be the answer.
