winhttpcertcfg giving access to iiS user in Windows 7

Question

I need to give access to the IIS user to a pfx certificate. The website is running under the App Pool under some user AppPoolUser. IIS automatically has the user name "IIS APPPOOL\AppPoolUser" and this is what we need to give access when we use aspnet_regiis -ga . However, when i use winhttpcertcfg to give access to the user "IIS APPPOOL\AppPoolUser", it says user doesn't exist. the command I use is

winhttpcertcfg -i <filename> -c <certificateLocation> - g -a <account name>

Didn't find any samples for this over the web. Any ideas?
