How to create a Personal Certificate in Windows 7 for use with Digital Signatures

asked on February 16, 2016

I believe you have an instruction paper for how to create a Personal Certificate in Windows 7 for use with Digital Signatures using Certmgr.msc but I cannot find it on your support or answers site. I found the document Administrating Digital Signatures but it does not contain this info and the links to Microsoft do not provide this.

Can you provide this info.

Hi Steve,

The documentation directs people to https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms731899.aspx, which is Microsoft's resource on working with certificates. Looking at that page, the TOC on the left includes some pages on how to make personal or temporary certificates.

Thanks Justin, but that link does not provide the steps, in just speaks in general terms about working with certificates. I've actually seen a document some time ago where it provided the step by step instructions of creating a Certificate using Certmgr, and then configuring the Digital Signatures feature. If you could help locate that document, it would be very helpful.

Hi Steve, 

In addition to the resources Justin provided, the following Presales Place article might be what you're looking for:

One thing to remember is that these instructions were created with demo virtual machines in mind. Hope this helps!

Hi Anita, yes, this is for my Demo environment and is more in line with what I was looking. I'll give it a try.

That specific page, no, but this is one of the pages directly under that TOC listing. https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms733813(v=vs.110).aspx. I'm not sure exactly which other paper you're referring to I'm afraid, traditionally we refer people here.
