pfx

I've created a Metro-style C#/XAML application, and now I'm trying to add it to version control (Git and, later, GitHub). That means figuring out which files belong in version control and which don't. When I created my Metro project, Visual Studio added a file to it called ProjectName _TemporaryKey.pfx. From what I've read, .pfx files apparently have something to do with code signing or certificates or something like that. I haven't found anything yet that explains exactly what they mean in the context of Metro-style apps, or how you're supposed to manage them. I'm planning to push my code to

I need to add certificate signing to my build. Below is a sample of the working script I wrote, however it includes the password to the .pfx file. I can't keep the password in the build script. What are "best practices" or hacks that you would use in this type of situation? <ItemGroup Label="SignFiles"> <SignFilesInclude="$(FileLocation)\**\*.exe"/> </ItemGroup> <Exec Command="$(SignTool) sign /v /ac C:\MSCV-VSClass3.cer /f C:\Certificate.pfx /p Password /t http://timestamp.verisign.com/scripts/timestamp.dll %(SignFiles.Identity)"/> After googling, I read in multiple places that once you run

I need to give access to the IIS user to a pfx certificate. The website is running under the App Pool under some user AppPoolUser. IIS automatically has the user name "IIS APPPOOL\AppPoolUser" and this is what we need to give access when we use aspnet_regiis -ga . However, when i use winhttpcertcfg to give access to the user "IIS APPPOOL\AppPoolUser", it says "No account information was found". The command I use is winhttpcertcfg -i <filename> -c <certificateLocation> - g -a <account name> Didn't find any samples for this over the web. Any ideas? dstj I know it's an old question, but I just

Microsoft seems to have created a certification jungle, that is hard to understand. Microsoft X.509 certificate (.cer) Personal Information Exchange (.pfx) Assembly Signature Key Attribute (.snk) Would it be advisable to create an snk file based on pfx or cer? (Not sure if its even possible, and if its possible how is it done?) While an assembly can be signed with a password protected pfx, it doesn't seem to be strong named though, unless it is signed with snk instead. But the snk has no password protection. Which one is safer to use? As I am the only developer in my project, I don't have the

I have a GoDaddy-issued code signing certificate in a .spc file. Also, I have a private key in .key file. The code signing has been issued some 13 months ago, then it expired and was renewed with GoDaddy. During the renewal process no private key was requested and just a new .spc file was issues. Now I'm facing the problem of joining the original private key file with the issues certificate to form a .pfx (or .cer ?) file suitable for installation into the Windows certificate store. The command I'm trying is: openssl.exe pkcs12 -inkey my.key -in my.spc -out my.pfx -export However, I'm getting

I have an application which performs 30 independent tasks simultaneously using multithreading, each task retrieves data over http, performs a calculation and returns a result to the ui thread. Can I use TPL to perform the same tasks? Does TPL create 30 new threads and spread them over all the available cores, or does it just split the tasks over the available cores and use one thread per core? Will there be a performance boost using TPL over multithreading in this case? Jon Skeet I believe TPL will usually use one thread per core unless you specifically tell it to use more. It's possible that
