RE: Showing the private key stored in a pfx file

Hi Bob,

Thanks for your post!

Based on my knowledge, the container name will be different every time you
import the PFX, but the private key should be the same each time.

I recommend you to use certutil.exe to dump the raw private key:
certutil -p "geheim" -v -privatekey e:\Prototype\Test\Release2\key.pfx
The output won't be as nice as the RSA C# class allows, in that the key is
merely dumped as a hex blob.

If the above command shows the same private key content each time, then
there may be an issue with the C# classes you are using, or the code that
calls them.

I look forward to your further test result. Thanks

Best regards,
Jeffrey Tan
