The way to set a specific certificate name, so you can find it within Windows Azure after it is registered, is using the Certificate Creation Tool (makecert.exe) to create an X.509 certificate:<\/p>\n
– Open the Visual Studio Command Prompt window as an administrator.<\/p>\n
– Change the directory to location where you want to save the certificate file.<\/p>\n
– Type the following command:<\/p>\n
makecert -sky exchange -r -n “CN=MyCertificateName” -pe -a sha1 -len 2048 -ss My “MyCertificateName.cer”<\/strong><\/p>\n Where MyCertificateName is the name that you want to use for the certificate. It must have a .cer extension.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n – After generating the .cer, you must install it into your machine if you want to use it for Windows Azure signing, etc.<\/p>\n To do so, it must be installed within the ‘Certificates (Local Computer) –> Personal –> Certificates.<\/p>\n You can do this using the Certificates Snap-in, you know, mmc.exe –> Add Snap-in –> Certificates –> Local Computer, etc.<\/p>\n After registering the certificate into your machine, you might want to export it (from the Certificates Snap-in) as .PFX, including the private key, setting a password, etc.. You might need this in order to install in into Windows Azure.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" I always forget the command line to do this, so I’m going to post it in my own blog.
