creating self signed certificates

  • ive been following this tutorial to create self signed certificates.

    http://www.sqljunkies.com/WebLog/ktegels/articles/SigningSQLCLRAssemblies.aspx

    when i try to create the cert to sign my assembly using the below command i get the error "too many parameters", but all of the parameters are valid! any ideas?

    makecert –m 360 –n “CN=Demo Signing Certificate” –iv signroot.pvk –ic signroot.cer –cy end –pe –sv signcert.pvk signcert.cer

  • i noticed in the example you pasted, and also in the web page example, it is using extended ascii characters for the quotes (left dbl quote and right dbl quote) instead of the standard double quote. change this and I think you are all set.

    makecert –m 360 –n “CN=Demo Signing Certificate” –iv signroot.pvk –ic signroot.cer –cy end –pe –sv signcert.pvk

    change the CN=Demo Signing Certificate  to "CN=Demo Signing Certificate"
