What is WinHTTP Certificate Configuration Tool?

WinHTTP Certificate Configuration Tool

WinHTTP Certificate Configuration Tool is a handy tool from Microsoft that helps administrators manage client certificates. With WinHttpCertCfg.exe, you can easily install and set up these certificates in any accessible certificate store, like the one used by the Internet Server Web Application Manager (IWAM) account.

Why Use WinHTTP?

This tool really simplifies things! Normally, when you're working with accounts like IWAM, you’d have to jump through hoops to access certificates for Active Server Pages (ASP). But with WinHttpCertCfg.exe, it takes care of that hassle for you.

Importing Certificates Made Easy

You might be thinking about using the Microsoft Management Console (MMC) to import client certificates onto your local machine. That’s totally possible! But remember, just importing a certificate doesn’t mean other accounts automatically get access to its private key. And guess what? You need that private key for client certificate authentication!

Granting Access

The great thing about the WinHTTP Certificate Configuration Tool is that it allows you to grant access to other accounts, including the IWAM account, whenever it's needed. This flexibility makes managing your certificates a lot easier.
