    Hi!

    Actually those articles describe how VSC works with W8 in MS environment (MS CA). My question was about how to request smart card user (or logon) certificate for virtual smart card from third party CA.

    Thanks,

    you can contact the 3rd party CA to know how can you generate and submit your request.

    Generally, we can request cert by web enrollment, you can contact CA to know the URL.

    we can also generate request file by command certreq and send request file to CA.

    Certreq.exe Syntax

    Hi!

    Yes, I can make custom request to third party CA with certreq or from certificates console GUI. Nice. I also have neccessary certificate from this CA already, this certificate has Smart Card Logon and ClientAuthentication EKUs. And I also have virtual smart card created in my Windows 8 machine.

    Now adjusted question: Is it possible to deploy certificate to virtual smart card with certreq command?

    (I can easily install this certificate to my personal store. But I want to use it with VSC.)

    Thanks,

    Since the virtual smart card is really no different than a MS Base CSP smart card, you can use the procedures in this article to inject the P12 file you have into the virtual smart card

    http://wiki.mysmartlogon.com/Save_a_pfx_file_to_a_smart_card

    Remember that you must first set up the virtual smart card.
