How does Outlook retrieve recipient certificates

[Lutz]

Hi,
we have in our network multiple Exchange organizations. Today we
synchronize the contact data between each to have a real Global
Address List. So far so good, we cannot change that infrastructure. We
tried to add user certificates to the usercertificate attribute on the
contact object, but Outlook could not access the user certificate for
encrypting emails. We tried in the lab with user objects and it was
working as expected.
So is there an way to "allow" Outlook to search also in contact
objects without an LDAP connector in the Outlook profile. We would
like to aviod any changes on the client side.
Any suggestions?
Lutz

Just a little bit feedback from me.

It is working, two things which I had to consider:
- the certificate has to be DER encoded
- the certificate has to have email encryption purpose

You're not by any chance attending a training class at Microsoft Canada

If a train station is where the train stops, what is a work station?
