unable to find or obtain a context for requested certificate

Whole day I am trying to install a firstdata payment certificate, I inserted the certificate in the Personal folder under Certificates with mmc. Now running the winhttpcertcfg.exe console app, I am getting an error saying: unable to find or obtain a context for requested certificate.

This is the command I am using:

winhttpcertcfg.exe -g -c LOCAL_MACHINE\My -s WS101..1 -a IWAM_B3B

I was browsing Google for some time now without any success. Every comment is more then welcome. Thanks, Laziale

I had a similar issue and finally I found out that my certificate was installed in the CURRENT_USER store and not in the LOCAL_MACHINE one.

winhttpcertcfg -l -c LOCAL_MACHINE\My -s "Issued To" was throwing the "Unable to find or obtain a context for requested certificate" error while
winhttpcertcfg -l -c CURRENT_USER\My -s "Issued To" returned the certicate's details.

After I had added the cetificate to the correct place via mmc.exe (Snap-in Certificates for Computer account - Local computer), I was able to grant private key access for the required account (NetworkService in my case).
