CertInfoCacheSize

HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\MSMQ\Parameters

Data type Range Default value
REG_DWORD 0x0 - 0xFFFFFFFF certificates 0x35 (53 entries)

Description

Determines the maximum number of certificates stored in the certificate cache, which stores information about certificates found in incoming messages. This cache helps Message Queuing authenticate incoming messages more quickly.

If the cache is full (that is, the number of certificates is equal to the value of the CertInfoCacheSize entry) when the next certificate arrives, Message Queuing deletes half of the certificates in the cache. The oldest certificates are deleted first.

Note Image Note

Entries in the certificate cache are not subject to an expiration time. Certificates are deleted from the cache only when the cache is full.

Windows 2000 does not add this entry to the registry. You can add it by editing the registry or by using a program that edits the registry.
