C code equivalent of C# to install certificate

Question

I found the below code to install a certificate into local machines trusted publisher. But the code is in C# I want the same to be done in C. How to convert this to C?

private static void InstallCertificate(string cerFileName)
{
  X509Certificate2 certificate = new X509Certificate2(cerFileName);
  X509Store store = new X509Store(StoreName.TrustedPublisher,StoreLocation.LocalMachine);
  store.Open(OpenFlags.ReadWrite);
  store.Add(certificate);
  store.Close();
 }

Any Windows APIS available?

I found the code in this link http://stackoverflow.com/questions/566570/how-can-i-install-a-certificate-into-the-local-machine-store-programmatically-us?answertab=active#tab-top , I intend to do the same but with C programming. — 2vision2, May 24 '12 at 06:15

Try to look at libpkix lib

The purpose of the libpkix library is to provide a widely useful C library for building and validating chains of X.509 certificates, compliant with the latest IETF PKIX standards (namely, RFC 3280). This project aims to provide complete support for all the mandatory features of RFC 3280, as well as a number of optional features.

try this example:

#include <openssl/ssl.h>
static int store_cert(SSL_CTX * ctx, X509 * cert)
{
    X509_STORE * x509_store;

    x509_store=SSL_CTX_get_cert_store(ctx);

    if (X509_STORE_add_cert(x509_store, cert)==0)
    {
        printf("ERROR: add certificate\n");
        return 0;
    }
    return 1;

}

SSL_CTX_get_cert_store?? where this function is defined?? – 2vision2 May 25 '12 at 06:46
SSL_CTX_get_cert_store is in libssl library, X509_STORE_add_cert is in libcrypto library – elhadi dp ıpɐɥןǝ May 25 '12 at 13:16
