UserCertificateStore sample

Shows how to use the UserCertificateStore class to add and delete a certificate in the user's User Personal certificate store (also known as the MY store). The UserCertificateStore parallels the CertificateStore class which represents the App's certificate store.

Note: This sample is part of a large collection of UWP feature samples. If you are unfamiliar with Git and GitHub, you can download the entire collection as a ZIP file, but be sure to unzip everything to access shared dependencies. For more info on working with the ZIP file, the samples collection, and GitHub, see Get the UWP samples from GitHub. For more samples, see the Samples portal on the Windows Dev Center.

This sample demonstrates the following:

  • Enumerating all certificates and identifying the app certificates and user certificates.
  • Moving a certificate from the app certificate store to the user certificate store by adding it to the user certificate store and deleting it from the app certificate store.
  • Moving a certificate from the user certificate store to the app certificate store by adding it to the app certificate store and deleting it from the user certificate store.

In order to use the UserCertificateStore class, the app must have the sharedUserCertificate capability.
