Which Cert Keys Are Used in IIS
Hello,
We have a certificate that I am reviewing that was flagged as having a 512 RSA Key from a report I was given. If I look at certificates from within the mmc it exposes the field "Public Key" with a value of RSA (1024) on my certs. So I don't understand
something?
Can a certificate have more than one key length, depending on what the use is (Signing vs server auth)Is there a command from the command line that will detail all certs within the store? Right now I see three but none are reporting th shorter key length so I am guessing it isn't in the personal certs of the local computer itself.
I have a snapshot of the certs listed for this machine and I am trying to track down how these key lengths are associated to a cert(s)
Any assistance is appreciated. I am working with the folks who provided this list to me as well but it is a confusing scenario right now.
TIA

1- A certificate can only have one associated key
2- You can either use the certificate MMC snap-in or the certutil.exe tool to check details about the certificates in your system
3- The list is not showing details about certificates. It show information about SSLv2 ciphers (probably enabled on your system) and related RSA key length for each cipher
