    Hi,

    I am currently creating a test application that uses WinHTTP APIs to connect to a server that supports SSL. My problem is that when the client certificate was imported in the "ROOT" location (programmatically), calls WinHTTPSetOption that specifies the certificate context, and then call WinHTTPSendRequest.
    An ERROR_WINHTTP_CLIENT_CERT_NO_PRIVATE_KEY(12185) error occurs.

    Please help.

    Thanks!

    Hi Ronnie1987,

    ERROR_WINHTTP_CLIENT_CERT_NO_PRIVATE_KEY shows the context for the SSL client certificate does not have a private key associated with it. The client certificate may have been imported to the computer without the private key. Please check it. For your reference, please see following documents, maybe it will helps:
