Win-acme: how do I change the default store to Personal?

[Michael-the-Great]

I'm using 2012 R2 Essentials and I see that letsencrypt win simple saves the certificate in the webhosting store but when I imported into anywhere access that it put it in the personal store. The instructions I was following say to change the letsencrypt.exe.config to save in the Personal store before the renewal runs.

How do I change the config to save in the personal store? I see the following in the config file:

  <setting name="CertificateStore" serializeAs="String">
    <value></value>

Do I just put the word Personal in the value tags? If I have to put a location there, how do I find the location of my personal store? (or is there a standard value I put there?)

Thanks for any help. I appreciate it.

What you want there is <value>My</value> though <value>Personal</value> should also work.

Hi guys, I will do a rewrite of the tutorial with the latest version soon. The tutorial is now based on 1.9.3 of win-simple client.

That's would be nice, since a lot has changed since 1.9.3. Let me know if you have some questions, though the Wiki should hopefully cover most of them.

Wow, Thanks! WouterTinus, I am grateful for the help.

And marietteknap, I would be nowhere without your article. But if you could put the version you're using when you do that rewrite it would be helpful. I originally used your article 3 months ago and it worked very well. Then it didn't renew. I tried to solve things by downloading the latest version. Then I had to get used to the new version and not everything matched your article. But your quick update at the top about the certificate store sent me in the right direction here. Marietteknap, I really do appreciate the time and effort you put into that article! :)
