The IE8 Certificate Import Wizard tells me "The specified file is empty". It is clearly "not empty" since I was able to import the certificate/key into Firefox.
There must be some underlying service whose "error" code is getting converted into the "The specified file is empty" message. Is there an error log I can find that would tell me exactly what IE8 doesn't like about the file? Maybe some tracing capability?
It was interesting that I could export the certificate and key from Firefox to a file and I was able to import that certificate and key into ie8. That tells me there is nothing wrong with the certificate and key (I think). There must be something wrong with the format of the PKCS 12 package that annoys IE8 but not Firefox. I created the original PKCS 12 package on my own and need to be able to generate something IE8 will accept.
Any ideas how to determine what IE8 is really complaining about?
