Enumerating a user secure certificate store in C#
Tuesday, July 14th, 2009
Reading a user's certificate store can be a very useful thing in C#, especially when dealing with anything at a low-level Windows usage, such as checking to see if the user on a domain has a valid certificate to use an Encrypted File System (EFS).
It is pretty straight-forward, so without further ado, here is how it is done:
X509Store store = new X509Store (StoreName. My, StoreLocation. CurrentUser);
store. Open(OpenFlags. ReadOnly | OpenFlags. OpenExistingOnly);
foreach (X509Certificate2 cert in store. Certificates)
{
// Cert thumbprint
string thumbprint = cert. Thumbprint;
// Cert serial number
string serial = cert. SerialNumber;
// Cert issuer
string issuer = cert. Issuer;
// Cert notbefore entry
DateTime notbefore = cert. NotBefore;
// Cert notafter entry
DateTime notafter = cert. NotAfter;
// Enumerate cert extensions, you can then cast them to their specific cert extension type if needed
foreach (X509Extension ext in cert. Extensions)
{
string friendlyname = ext. Oid. FriendlyName;
string value = ext. Oid. Value;
}
}
That's all I have for now, pretty short entry, but a useful bit of code.
