Turning off security alerts during Root CA Certificate Import

Hi all,

I need to move a copy of a CA Root certificate from the Local Machine Store
to the Current User store during user logon (at least the first time the user
logs on). I have written a VBScript using CAPICOM to do this, it seems to
work, but the user is given a "Security Warning" because the root CA cannot
be verified (I created a self-signed root certificate and an operational CA
certificate using MS Certification Authority).

This warning is somewhat annoying, and since it gives the user the choice
not to Import the Certificates, it can be quite dangerous (if the user
chooses not to import, then the whole VPN config will fail).

Is there a way to avoid getting this message, either forcing the import of
the CA certificates or doing away compeltely with the "Security Warning"
messages during logon?

Thanks,
RB

Couldn't you import the certificate into a profile and then copy that
profile as the Default User profile? Don't know if it would work but it
might.

If you are in an Active Directory domain you can use Group Policy/user
configuration/Windows settings/security settings/public key policies to add
certificates that the user will trust. --- Steve
