Where would a created certificate be

Post by chamdan »

Hi,

I created a certificate for the Outlook 2016 to enable my macros and would like to know where would that certificate be located. I used SelfCert.exe to create it but could not find where the certificate is located. Your help is geratly appreciated.

Have a look in Current User > Personal > Certificates

Hi Stuart,

How did you get that screen shot? Is this under Windows or under Outlook? Or is this a small application that lists the certificates?

On Windows 10, I opened settings and searched for "Certificate". This offered me a choice between "Manage computer certificates" and "Manage user certificates"

Stuart,

I tried to import the certificate but it could not find it using Outlook. This is the situation I found the certificate I had created but when going to Outlook to include my certificate It does not find it. How would you include that certificate so I can use the macro I created?

I assume you want to use this certificate to sign a Macro, so
Open Outlook
Open the VBA editor (Alt-F11)
Navigate to the code you want to sign
On the Tools menu click Digital Signature
Click the Choose... button

EDITED TO ADD
You may need to export the certificate, and then import it to
Current user > Trusted Publishers > Certificates.
