Windows has its own System wide certificate store;

look at  certmgr.msc

keep in mind, that some applications have their own store
e.g.  Mozilla ThunderBird, Mozilla FireFox
and some other can use this system wide certificate store
e.g. Adobe Reader/Pro/Std

Hi, I am trying to create a client/server application on windows 7, where I have used self signed certificate at server side as well as at client side. I used SSL_CTX_use_certificate_file and then SSL_CTX_use_PrivateKey_file API to load the certificate and key. When there is a SSL_connect() call from client, the handshaking fails with the error stating Error 18: self signed certificate. So I want help related to- how to use and verify self signed certificate. The certificate are generated by using following command openssl req -x509 -nodes -days 1059 -newkey rsa:2048 -keyout testkey.pem -out testcert.pem -config pathtoconfig\openssl.cnf Regards Manoj View this message in context: Error 18: self signed certificate <http://openssl.6102.n7.nabble.com/Error-18-self-signed-certificate-tp47361.html> Sent from the OpenSSL - User mailing list archive <http://openssl.6102.n7.nabble.com/OpenSSL-User-f3.html> at Nabble.com.
