How to make certificate accessible to CurrentUser\My installed on store location LocalMachine\My

Question

My applications uses the method X509Store(someStoreName). someStoreName is custom store name which will be removed. And because of this we need to access all the certificate from MY/Personal store which are installed on location LocalMachine. I provided the access to certificate in MMC for user id to make it accessible using X509Store(someStoreName). But I am still not able to find it, what should id do for finding it.

X509Store(someStoreName,StoreLocation.LocalMachine) this solution is working but I cant use it because of heavy dependency of X509Store(someStoreName) in our code base.

Answer 1

You have to rewrite all existing code to use X509Store(someStoreName,StoreLocation.LocalMachine) overload. There is no way to propagate certificate from LocalMachine\My to CurrentUser\My.
