Hi,
I am working with the CAPI engine and the machine keystore where I do
have keys and certificates.
To find my key, the engine will execute `capi_open_store()` which works
just fine and pays respect to the store_flags set.
I set these flags with `ENGINE_ctrl(e, ENGINE_CMD_BASE + 13, 1, NULL,
NULL)` which works just fine.
It does find the container and everything but upon calling
`capi_get_key()` it will run until `CryptAcquireContextA(&key->hprov,
contname, provname, ptype, 0)`.
The problem here lies within the last parameter as it is set to `0`.
According to
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/desktop/aa379886%28v=vs.85%29.aspx
the last parameter are `dwFlags [in]` where CRYPT_MACHINE_KEYSET is one
possible flag.
This flag is required if you want to access a container that uses the
machine keyset, which for example the tool `certreq` does if ordered so.
Accessing a key created in this way is not possible with the CAPI engine
as of now.
So my suggestion is either to enable setting more complex flags or
making a simple check (see attached diff for simple solution).
This will now check whether the machine store was chosen and will set
the dwFlag accordingly. I am not that familiar with the CryptoAPI to say
this would be the only modification need.
Maybe there even is a reason why it is not implemented yet and I am
overlooking it.
My problem occured when executing certreq while specifying the
`MachineKeySet=TRUE` option.
Anyone involved with the developement might be able to react to this.
Regards,
Florian
