Answer 1

The namespace doesn't contain an API for this, so you have to use its ConfigurationMethod to invoke an extension to the Win API that performs this function. Something like:

string certificateHash = <hash>
string certificateStore = <storename>  #my, localmachine, etc

ConfigurationMethod method = binding.Methods["AddSslCertificate"];
ConfigurationMethodInstance mi = method.CreateInstance();
mi.Input.SetAttributeValue("certificateHash", certificateHash);
mi.Input.SetAttributeValue("certificateStoreName", certificateStore);
mi.Execute();
