Need to access Windows Machine or Personal Certificate Store and send to web app - seswho - Sep-14-2020
Working on a project requiring the retrieval of a certificate from either the personal or machine windows certificate store so it can be passed to a web based app as part of the app authentication. The app requires the private key be part of the certificate. Have found the following library (https://www.chilkatsoft.com/python.asp) chilkat to provide access to the windows certificate stores. My problem is, I'm still learning python and not sure how to handle sending certificates to a web app for authentication.
Has anyone done this?
What did you do to be able to send the certificate?
Which other python modules are required and how are they used to accomplish this task?
Thank you.
