# If bMachineKeyset = true, the private key is save to the machine-wide protected
# store. Otherwise it is saved to the current logged-on user's protected store
# (and thus only available to the user account that did the import).

# Set bLocalMachineCertStore = true to import the certificate to the local machine
# registry store, otherwise import to the current user registry store.

# operating system to issue a warning dialog whenever the private key is accessed.
# Programs running in ASP.NET or a Windows Service will hang if bUseWarningDialog = true
