Installing *.CER Security Certificates

[David H. Lipman]

{Sorry for the cross Post - DHL}

I have received several NEW Security Certificates with the extension CER.
To manually install them, one would browse to the certificate's location, "Right
Click" on the *.CER file and then choose "Install Certificate."

I would like to incorporate the installation of the new Security Certificates
via our Domain NT Login Script using KixTart (kix32.exe). How can the
certificates be installed via a Login Script ?
Can it be down via rundll32.exe ?

Thanx...
Dave

To automatically import into IE, label the file on the server as .cer and
if your Win32 has MS cryptoAPI (e.g. IE4+ installed), then downloading
the .cer file will automatically raise the MS dialog for importing/saving
the cert.
Check for this file association on Win95/98/NT:

Security Certificate (CRT, DER, CER)
-------------------------------------
Content type: application/pkix-cert
Action: open
Application: rundll32.exe cryptext.dll,CryptExtOpenCER
</quote>

may find this better (dug out from the Registered File Types in Explorer):

rundll32.exe cryptext.dll,CryptExtAddCER %1

B I G T H A N X !

That's what I was looking for.
I'll give it a shot on Tuesday in a test TestScript.Kix file.
