    <p>I have a certificate (.pem file) that is distributed by another service vendor. I downloaded the certificate from the vendor and saved it to my local drive. In my WCF client, I am trying to load this certificate from the local drive and it is giving me an error “The private key is not present in the X.509 certificate” when communicating with the service. I was told that I need to load this certificate to my local certificate store to resolve this error. Can anyone provide some directions? Thanks!</p> <p>I have the below function to load certificate from the path specified in the file parameter.</p> <pre><code>public static X509Certificate LoadCertificate(string file) { try { return X509Certificate.CreateFromCertFile(file); } catch (System.Security.Cryptography.CryptographicException) { string filestr = File.ReadAllText(file); StringBuilder sb = new StringBuilder(filestr.Remove(0, filestr.IndexOf("-----BEGIN CERTIFICATE-----"))); sb.Replace("-----BEGIN CERTIFICATE-----", ""); sb.Replace("-----END CERTIFICATE-----", ""); //Decode try { //see if the file is a valid Base64 encoded cert byte[] certBytes = Convert.FromBase64String(sb.ToString()); return new X509Certificate(certBytes); } catch (System.FormatException) { throw; } } } </code></pre> <p>In my WCF client, it is loading the certificate that was created from LoadCertificate() function.</p> <pre><code> public X509Certificate Certificate { get; set; } ClientCredentials loginCredentials = new ClientCredentials(); loginCredentials.UserName.UserName = this.UserId; loginCredentials.UserName.Password = this.Password; loginCredentials.ClientCertificate.Certificate = new X509Certificate2(this.Certificate); </code></pre>

    3. COI did not find "install" option on right click. Also, the instructions from the vendor are "This certificate should be saved as a file on your Web server with a .pem extension.". I dont know if this means the certificate needs to be installed or just needs to be saved.

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
