Thanks for the help you rendered: the tstclnt.exe is taking the hostname input just fine...
But now I have problems with server authentication: I tried many hit-&- trial approaches to obtain a successful connection but for one reason or the other, the client is not recognising the issuer CA(self-signed and added to the client DB with certutil -t "CTU, CTU, CTU") as trusted. I created three DB directories: one for each, the client, the server & the CA. The DBs, keys, and the certificates requests as well as the finished certificates of each one was put into its respective directory. Also, when I created the Self-signed CA certificate using the -S argument with certutil.exe, it got added to the DB fine but was not visible in its directory due to which I could not add it to the client & the server databases. I fixed this problem by creating a secondary CA cert from the Self signed "root" cert and adding it to both the other databases...But again it could not recognize the CA cert... :-(( Then I generated all the certs in a common directory. Again, no success... Kindly help. Also please tell the importance of the -1234567 arguments in the certutil tool. Can I somehow add the root CA cert in the client-server DBs without having to create the secondary CA cert??
