SCARD_E_NO_KEY_CONTAINER
SCARD_E_NO_KEY_CONTAINER The requested key container does not exist on the smart card. A certificate can be visible while its corresponding key container is missing, unavailable to the current provider, or located under another card profile.
What to check
- Confirm that the requested certificate is paired with the expected private key and provider on this card.
- Check card provisioning and enrollment history for a deleted, replaced, or never-created key container.
- Use the issuer's provisioning process to restore the correct key material; do not create substitute containers for an existing certificate identity.
