title: Cannot see self created certificate in certmanager?
body: <p>I followed the steps in my answer to create a certificate. I will use this cert on my own computer. The command succeeded, but I see no personal certificate in cert manager (certmgr.msc). Answer - <a href="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/11031200/how-do-i-create-client-certificates-for-local-testing-of-two-way-authentication">How do I create client certificates for local testing of two-way authentication over SSL?</a></p>
  
  <p>Steps:</p>
  
  <ol>
  <li>Launch Vs2010 Command Prompt: Start ► All Programs ► Visual Studio 2010 ► Visual Studio Tools ► Visual Studio Command Prompt (right click and Run as Administrator)</li>
  <li>Create a self-signed (-r), private key exportable (-pe), saving to personal folder (-ss my) under local machine (Local Computer, sr localmachine), named (-n) "YangsoftCA",common name (-in) "Yangsoft.com" with private key file (-sv) as "YangsoftCA.pvk" and public key file "YangsoftCA.cer"</li>
  </ol>
  
  <p>Command:</p>
  
  <pre><code>C:\Windows\system32&gt;makecert -r -pe -ss my -sr LocalMachine -n "CN=YangsoftCA" -sv "YangsoftCA.pvk" YangsoftCA.cer
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Above succeeded</p>
  
  <p>Password was prompted to secure the private key file</p>
  
  <p>This is what my cert manager looks like. There is nothing under personal certificates. 
  I was hoping that yangsoft would appear there. </p>
