How to reflect the use of a custom cert in an unattended setup of FIM R2 SP1 Portal & Service?

Hi,

When doing an unattended installation of FIM Portal & Service there is a parameter that indicates the certificate subject name to generate: 'CERTIFICATE_NAME'.

But, the GUI-based setup shows a choice:

1. Select a certificate located in the local certificate store
2. Generate a new self-issued certificate

How do I accomplish a selection from the local certificate store through an unattended install?

It seems that for instance using 'CERTIFICATE_NAME=MyCustomFIMCert' does not search the store first but creates an additional self-issued certificate with exactly the same name; in the msi installer log it then complaints that the installer found certificates with the same name.

Anyone any tips how to deal with this behavior?

THANKS :-)
