Indy to use Windows CertStore?

Question

Is there any way that Indy can use a cert from the windows store? I currently use TidServerIOHandlerSSLOpenSSL but dont see an option there. Any tricks to achieve this?

OpenSSL does not support the Windows Certificate Store, only its own built-in store. There are ways to export Windows certificates and import them into OpenSSL, but that is outside the scope of Indy. — Remy Lebeau

This project is a Indy Handler to Windows Secure Channel. https://github.com/tothpaul/Delphi/tree/master/Indy.SChannel

The handler has a function named "LoadCertificatStore" wich reads PFX data stored in a CRYPT_DATA_BLOB structure.

You can copy your certificate (and its chain) from the Windows system store to a temporal memory store, export to a memory PFX and read it from the handler.
