"Provider not found"
During the course of generation of an application for a certificate, a private key is created. The storage location of the key may be in a PC, on a smart card or on a USB token. The storage location is determined by the CSP provider (= key type). If you choose the key storage location on a smart card, for example, and there is no smart card in the reader (or no drivers have been installed), the computer will display the “Provider not found” error message.
- Key type for smart cards: SecureStore CSP
- Key type for PC Microsoft: Microsoft Enhanced RSA and AES Cryptographic Provider
- Other HW solutions: the CSP is indicated by the manufacturer
