We've developed a web application on our internal Intranet, which includes
the creation of a digital signature. This functionality is developed using
the capicom dll.

When capicom is initiated from IE a number of security alerts are displayed
about accessing the local certificate stores. We are receiving complaints
from our end users about how many prompts they are receiving.

One of the capicom prompts allows the user to tick a check box to stop it
appearing again when the user accesses the same website. This works fine for
the browser session but as soon as the browser is closed down this flag is
lost and the prompt appears next time the user tries to produce a signature.

Is this how it is meant to work? And is there any way of maintaining this
across browser sessions so that the user does not have to click on this
prompt everytime they create a signature on our internal website?

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Many thanks.
