Creating an MS Certificate Authority using CA Root Certificate created with OpenSSL

Question

Using the guide here:

http://www.davidpashley.com/articles/cert-authority.html

I have create a certificate authority using OpenSSL. However I would now like to use the Microsoft CA instead.

The question is, is it possible to "import" the root/sub certificates I created with OpenSSL into MSCA?

During the installation of Windows certificate services, the installer asks if you want to create a new key pair or use an existing one from before. If you are able to export the private/public key pair as a pfx file from your old CAs you should be able to use them as the new identity when creating the Windows based PKI infrastructure.

Is it also possible to import any certificates that have been issued by the old CA? – MrEyes Jul 24 '11 at 20:09
No you cant import from 3rd party product's issued certs database to Windows. – maweeras Jul 25 '11 at 06:00
