COMMAND
Service Pack 6
SYSTEMS AFFECTED
WinNT with SP6
PROBLEM
This was spotted by one Bill Brice over on the CryptoAPI list.
When using a private key with the security level set to high
under SP5 (e.g. during client certificate authentication), you
are prompted for the password and the relevant dialogue box has a
"Remember password" check-box. If you select that box, you will
not be prompted for the password again for the duration of that
login session. Except for a brief appearance during import, under
SP6 the "Remember password" check-box is no longer there.
SOLUTION
Not sure yet if this is an SP6 bug (suspected) or a deliberate
change in functionality?
