I want to access the windows certificate store through javascript... I want to develop a web application and wants to validate the login user against the certificate by reading it.

To view certificates for the current user Select Run from the Start menu, and then enter certmgr. msc. The Certificate Manager tool for the current user appears. To view your certificates, under Certificates - Current User in the left pane, expand the directory for the type of certificate you want to view.
This certificate store is located in the registry under the HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE root. This type of certificate store is local to a user account on the computer. This certificate store is located in the registry under the HKEY_CURRENT_USER root.
No. Not out of the box. Use OpenSSL's own cert store (it is a hierarchy of directories created by perl script provided with OpenSSL) Use only a certificate chain file created by you (it is a text file with all PEM-encoded certificates in a chain of trust).
To access Certificate Manager, click the Start button, type certmgr. msc in the search field, and click the Enter key. If this is a program you use frequently, you can add it to your Start menu.
As far as I know it is not possible from a web application without using native bridge (fir instance through some java applet or activeX component).
There is currently a W3C working draft for a Web Cryptography API. Some browser vendors are currently working on this API (Mozilla or Microsoft) but it is far from being production ready.
