ASP.NET - The specified network password is not co

问题:

I have in my dev machine a WCF Client which requires certificate and it is working fine.
After the deployment to production server I get the following Error:

[CryptographicException: The specified network password is not correct.]

DEV - Win7 32BIT IIS 7.5
PRODUCTION - Win SERVER 64BIT 2008 IIS 7.5

Even though there is no password between the networks and there is not certificate password. (I know because the dev works with no password). The only password that I have is the WCF one that is the same as the DEV.

CrmServiceClient crm = new CrmServiceClient("CrmServiceEndpoint");
crm.ClientCredentials.UserName.UserName = CrmConfigRepository.CrmUserName;//fine
crm.ClientCredentials.UserName.Password = CrmConfigRepository.CrmPassword;//fine
crm.ClientCredentials.ClientCertificate.Certificate = new X509Certificate2(Path);
///THIS WONT WORK AS WELL
crm.ClientCredentials.ClientCertificate.Certificate = new X509Certificate2(Path, "", X509KeyStorageFlags.Exportable); 

this is the full stack

Try this:

new X509Certificate2(Path, "", X509KeyStorageFlags.MachineKeySet); 

It appears that the X509Certificate2 constructor tries to access the private key store of the local user (even when loading a PFX and the private key is in the PFX). With asp.net, the user profile typically isn't loaded, so the user key store doesn't exist. Specifying MachineKeySet tells the constructor to look at the Local Computer key store which always exists.
