Could anybody point out right apis for connecting to Microsoft certification services and do the certificate managing tasks?

Answer 1

You can get information around the API here

From here you can find information around keyTool which is used to generate certificates

Following commands might be of help to you

keytool -genkey -keystore server-keystore.jks -alias server_alias \
        -dname "CN=hostnameofserver,OU=orgunit" \
        -keyalg "RSA" -sigalg "SHA1withRSA" -keysize 2048 -validity 365

keytool -export -keystore server-keystore.jks -alias server_alias -file server.crt

keytool -import -keystore client-truststore.jks -file server.crt

From JDK 1.6 , you can programmatically access MS CryptoAPI also.
