The DEFAULT for the friendly name MAY be the subject name. However, you can
simply change it, so your assumption about using them interchangeably is
incorrect.

Subject: Re: cerificate friendly name

HI,
I was able to retrieve the certifciate using the "friendly name". I did not
know that friendly names are the same as the subject names. So if u know
the subject name, u can find the certificate with that subject name and
then get the container name and the provider for that cert. The function
that i used was
CertFindCertificateInStore(
      hSystemStore,
      MY_ENCODING_TYPE,           // Use X509_ASN_ENCODING.
      0,                          // No dwFlags needed.
      CERT_FIND_SUBJECT_STR,      // Find a certificate with a
                                  // subject that matches the string
                                  // in the next parameter.
      lpszCertSubject ,           // The Unicode string to be found
                                  // in a certificate's subject.
      NULL))                      // NULL for the first call to the
                                  // function. In all subsequent
                                  // calls, it is the last pointer
                                  // returned by the function.
