Error about private key not supporting key export when backing up certificate authority
we have set new ca , deployed couple of web certificates.
i wanted test backing before starting use large numbers of user , computer certificates.
when used ca backup wizard first backup, popup appeared saying windows cannot backup 1 or more private keys because the csp not support key export. it allows ignore , continue.
what make sure need disaster recovery gets backed up?
based on description, did not follow standards build of ca.
when built using powershell scriptlets or server manager wizard, ca certificate , private key exportable when using microsoft software key storage provider.
if cannot certificate , private key (and based on newness of pki), tear down , redeploy before issue many certs
the ca certificate , private key *should* exportable
