Failed to load the Certificate (then failed to fetch GAL contacts) #102

Closed nbwork closed 8 months ago

Followed the instructions, but I think I may have something wrong with the certificate or the certificate password. I don't think I am completely understanding how to use Create-SecureCertificatePassword.ps1:

I had to change the script to prompt me for the certificate password, and then I was able to create the correct SecureCertificatePassword.xml.

$SecureString = Read-Host "password" -assecurestring

(it prompted me for the password, which I pasted in, then:)

$SecureString | Export-Clixml .\SecureCertificatePassword.xml
