Default execWB to open a webpage with Digital Certificate


I have a web browser object that I want to open up a webpage using a specific digital certificate. Is there a way to specify the digital certificate in and execWB command or in the navigate command for the webbrowser.

The reason I need it to work this way is cause I access the same page about 50 times and the content changes based on what digital certificate I am using.

web.ExecWB OLECMDID_OPEN ,OLECMDEXECOPT_DONTPROMPTUSER

Is there a way I can specify a digital certificate when opening the web page?


Thanks
Kelly

First of all you would not use the execWB function. Second of all I see no valid use for this other than identity spoofing as reported in several Microsoft security bulletins.

If you have a valid use for this with proper licensing, Microsoft will be more than helpful in assisting you in this matter. However, using different certificates only means that you are masking your true identity and most likely are trying to hack into systems.

There is a real purpose for this. I pull bill files off for my customers which I have over 50 and they all come off the same site. By using a each Digital certificate for the customer I get their bill based on the digital certificate I use.

I have to do this for each customer every month and I'm trying to find a way to automate it and create them into pdfs and have them emailed out automatically rather then me browsing to each page manually and pdfing the bill.

The PDFing and emailing part is easy I already have the code for that its just downloading the page into the webbrowser component with a specific digital certificate from verisign that I have not figured out yet.
