How can I add a private key to X509Certificate2 after I have already added the public key?

My steps are:

  1. Create X509Certificate2 with public key:

    X509Certificate2 clientCertificate = new X509Certificate2("public key certificate blob as byte[]");

  2. How do I want to load the private key blob to clientCertificate?

Solution

  • It looks like you can not import RSA private key with just .net framework tools.
