A cryptographic service provider is a program that performs authentication, encoding, and cryptographic services, and is accessed by Windows-based applications through the Microsoft cryptographic application programming interface.
Cryptographic Service Provider
Applies To: Windows 7, Windows Server 2008 R2
Cryptographic Service Provider (CSP) is implemented
During the import of various certificates, many people will be prompted: "An internal error occurred. The configuration file is not accessible or the private key you are importing requires an encryption service provider , but the provider is not installed on your system. "
The so-called configuration files cannot be accessed. Generally, you are not logged in with an administrator account and do not have administrator rights.
The so-called need of an encryption service provider, here are a few steps to solve:
Run services.msc, start Cryptographic Service, or enter net start cryptsvc in the command line to view the system services.
If the Cryptographic Service is automatically started by the system, check whether the HTTP SSL service is started; if it is still normal
Then check to see if the Encrypting File System (encrypting file system) is started, if not, change it to start automatically.
In fact, the key to these problems is that some system services are not turned on. If the above two services fail to solve the problem, here I list the system service tables that should be set to start normally. As long as the services in the following table are started, the problem can be solved.
