SV: [Mono-list] Verifying end certificate against rootcertificates in store

Hi Sebastien

Okay, so it can't be done with the current build :(
Then what about some functionality to retrieve all certificates from the store. Is that available?
I could always do the verifying manually then.

Or I could do a more specific search for a root certificate with a Common Name that matches the issuer in the certificate. And then check if that specific CA is the issuer of my end certificate.

Are there any current functionality to get a specific certificate from the "Trusted root authorities" store then. And then verify that this certifcate is the issuer certificate?

I know I'm ignoring checking of certificate chains here. I just want to make a simple check if possible.

Thanks,
Kim

Hello Kim,

You either have to use Fx 2.0 which has much expanded support for X.509
or p/invoke into CryptoAPI.

IIRC Mentalis has a library that wraps most of CryptoAPI
for .net/windows apps.
