Hello all,
I have a 2008 R2 CA set up in my lab. It is the only 2008 R2 CA I've ever set up without using an HSM. Something that is extremely annoying is that I have to approve UAC prompts whenever the CA needs to use its private key (e.g. sign certs, sign a CRL). This is the prompt I get:
Is there a way to disable this without rebuilding the CA? Either way, for future reference, in a lab environment, where we're not too concerned about security, is there a registry setting that can be applied before installing certificate services so that the CA's key is not in this protected state?
