PowerShell script that imports a .pfx certificate file. Useful to do before building the solution on a build server.

Import-PfxCertificate.ps1

param($PfxFilePath, $Password)

$absolutePfxFilePath = Resolve-Path -Path $PfxFilePath
Write-Output "Importing store certificate '$absolutePfxFilePath'..."

Add-Type -AssemblyName System.Security
$cert = New-Object System.Security.Cryptography.X509Certificates.X509Certificate2
$cert.Import($absolutePfxFilePath, $Password, [System.Security.Cryptography.X509Certificates.X509KeyStorageFlags]"PersistKeySet")
$store = new-object system.security.cryptography.X509Certificates.X509Store -argumentlist "MY", CurrentUser
$store.Open([System.Security.Cryptography.X509Certificates.OpenFlags]::"ReadWrite")
$store.Add($cert)
$store.Close()

@deadlydog, What the value should be set for "MY"?

@deadlydog, What the value should be set for "MY"?

MY is the correct value. See the docs for more info.

What the hell is this?

System.Security.Cryptography.CryptographicException: Keyset does not exist
