Certificate selection screen

The certificates that are displayed in the certificate selection screen are from the certificate store(s) specified in the certificate stores tab in the CSI management utility.

The images in the Store column indicate which certificate store the certificate is from:

  1. The gold CSI represents the CSI certificate store.

  2. The blue star represents the Microsoft CAPI store.
    Note: This includes smart cards accessed through MS CAPI.

  3. The smart card image represents a smart card accessed through the PKCS#11 interface.

See Certificate details for information on the other columns.
