When accessing web page on server which requires client authentification
only
certificates issued by CAs accepted as authority by server appears. Maybe
this
is problem. If you are using IIS on server side see IIS help about IISCA.EXE
utility.
CSP is not used for symmetric encryption\decryption (CryptEncrypt,
CryptDecrypt).
This part is managed by schannel.dll.If you replace default CSP (rsabase.dll
or rsaenh.dll)
with your CSP (but don't change name just replace dll and signature) you
will get
access also to CryptSignHash(SSL client authentification) and to
CryptImportKey
(secure mail) functions.You will found few MS answers on this question in
CryptoAPI Archives.
