Replacement for CAPICOM

Question

Hi, all!

Now CAPICOM is deprecated, and MSDN recommends to use .net classes from System.Security.Cryptography. But I have one Lotus Notes application, which using CAPICOM from LotusScript code (very similar to VisualBasic) for displaying certificates to users, and get some cert info (Subject and ValidToDate fields).

How can I replace CAPICOM functionality with .net or any other alternative?

Answer 1

.NET Framework has it's X509Certificate class, and if you need an ActiveX control or if X509Certificate capabilities (which are limited) are insufficient, you can use PKIBlackbox, which is available as ActiveX controls and as .NET components.
