Setting Key Usage attributes with Makecert

Is it possible to set Key Usage attributes using makecert, or any other tool I can use to generate my own test certificates?

The reason I'm interested is that certificates used for BizTalk Server AS2 transport require a key usage of Digital Signature for signing and Data Encipherment or Key Encipherment for encryption/decryption, and I want to play around with this feature.

I see how to set enhanced key usage attributes with makecert, but not key usage.

Solution

  • You can use the -eku option to specify the key usage to your certificate.
