The standard solution to get the CryptoAPI Base Cryptography Functions to
work via IIS is to use the CRYPT_MACHINE_KEYSET flag in
CryptAcquireContext. There are some security drawbacks to this solution.
See:
1) http://support.microsoft.com/support/kb/articles/Q161/9/81.asp
2) search this list's archive for CRYPT_MACHINE_KEYSET
3) see "Cryptography for Visual Basic: A Programmer's Guide to the
CryptoAPI", Chapter 2 (I think).

Best,
Richard Bondi
