Hi all !
I'm not sure this is the rigth place to ask these kind of questions, but
I'll try. Maybe somebody can help me.
Some infos, about the problem:
Platform: Windows 2000
Programming language: Visual C++ 6
API: CryptoAPI
Smart Card & Reader: ActivCard Gold
Problem descrtiption: I have a personal certificate in the system tore
"MY", and I have to copy this certificate to the smart card. As I have
read in the MSDN there is a system certificate store called "UserDS"
planned to use with smart cards. But when I try to put the certificate
into this store, the program stops, with an Accesss denied error message.
Here is the code:

        HCRYPTPROV csp_handle;
        HCERTSTORE cert_store_handle;
        HCERTSTORE another_cert_store_handle;
        PCCERT_CONTEXT cert_context = NULL;
 
        if (!CryptAcquireContext(&csp_handle,NULL,
get_installed_csp(0),PROV_RSA_FULL,0))
        {
                if
(!create_key_container(&csp_handle,"key_container",get_installed_csp(0)))
exit(1);
        }

        cert_store_handle = CertOpenSystemStore(csp_handle,"MY");
        cert_context = CertEnumCertificatesInStore(cert_store_handle,
cert_context);
        another_cert_store_handle =
CertOpenSystemStore(csp_handle,"UserDS");

        //the program fails in the next line
        if
(!CertAddCertificateContextToStore(another_cert_store_handle,cert_context,CERT_STORE_ADD_REPLACE_EXISTING,NULL))

        {
                write_error_message(GetLastError());
        }

        if (!CertFreeCertificateContext(cert_context)) exit(1);
        if
(!CertCloseStore(another_cert_store_handle,CERT_CLOSE_STORE_FORCE_FLAG))
exit(1);
        if
(!CertCloseStore(cert_store_handle,CERT_CLOSE_STORE_FORCE_FLAG)) exit(1);
        if (!CryptReleaseContext(csp_handle,0)) exit(1);

Remarks:
The get_installed_csp() gets the i'th installed csp's name.
The create_key_container() creates a key container
The write_error_message() writes the error message which is attached to
the error code.

Any help is appreciated.
Thanks,
andras
