Trying to select a cert by thumbprint. A few options below:

1) 05:0A:A7:C3:5F:85:F0:A8:5B:14:1D:B6:7F:67:8C:60:4F:2D:DE:D3
2) 05 0a a7 c3 5f 85 f0 a8 5b 14 1d b6 7f 67 8c 60 4f 2d de d3

3) 050aa7c35f85f0a85b141db67f678c604f2dded3

What format do I need to use?

Hi Matthew,

The value that comes out of the certificate browser, so number 2. Just be aware that if copied straight out there will be a non-printable character that needs to be removed (don't recall if it's preceding of trailing).

Thanks.

Is the certificate browser you are referring to the MMC certificate snap-in?

In that case, it would be number 2 in the options above.

Yes, that's correct.

If it's the snap-in, its preceeding characters. These can be removed by deleting the first two characters and manually re-typing them.


If this is a common issue, perhaps a filter of non-ascii codes is appropriate on that field.

Thanks, I've added this to the backlog.
