Sandipan ,
I do not know in what sense ActiveX is disabled in IE5.5. Perhaps for
unsigned downloaded controls? In any event, Xenroll.dll houses the
Certificate Enrollment Control. It is documented in the Platform SDK, the
MSDN library, and the MSDN Online library. Look under PlatformSDK ->
Security -> Certificate Services and Components -> Certificate Enrollment
Control. If you want to run it from IE, pay particular attention to the
VBscript examples.
You can find the online documentation at
http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/psdk/certsrv/crtsvnode_intro_8f3n.htm
I can also provide you with a few examples.
When you ask how can Xenroll work with OpenSSL, do you want use Xenroll to
generate the certificate requests and use openssl to sign them? This can
certainly be done.

Subject: Xenroll and OpenSSL
Back in 1997, there was a discussion with Dr Henson on the use of
Xenroll.dll with MSIE and (then SSLeay) OpenSSL.
http://remus.prakinf.tu-ilmenau.de/ssl-users/archive22/0040.html
Could someone tell me anything about the following two issues :
1. Xenroll uses ActiveX that is by default disabled in IE5.5 for reasons of
security. Is there anything new from MS that doesnt use ActiveX and will
work on the client without specially installing software for this purpose ?
2. Does anyone know of some URL where I can learn how to use Xenroll ?
With OpenSSL ? That can then be processed by openssl with req (if required)
and
ca ? I have found some resources at MS and over Google, but nothing
comprehensive.

Sandipan
