I'm building a server application which uses your SSL sockets for .NET and uses certificates. When I use the localMachine MY store I can connect with my client without trouble but when I try to use the localMachine ROOT store the SSL handshake fails.

The windows service is supposed to be able to run on a machine even if no user logs on to it and which store do I have access to in those kind of circumstances ?

The easiest thing to do would be to install the certificate in either LocalMachine/MY or CurrentUser/MY then run the service as someone who has persmission to those stores.

If you can't do that, then you need to do something with the local policy or permissions to allow the service to access the certificate. I do not know exactly what you need to do to the policies, but I am sure you could find someone else who has had the same problem using groups.google.com
