Additional information to JDK-8026953

A DESCRIPTION OF THE REQUEST :
Probably the cause to this lack of support to CNG is because whenever the "sunmscapi.dll" calls the CryptAcquireCertificatePrivateKey function, it is not using the CRYPT_ACQUIRE_ALLOW_NCRYPT_KEY_FLAG flag, or the CRYPT_ACQUIRE_PREFER_NCRYPT_KEY_FLAG flag, which are needed in order to properly use private keys stored via CNG, according to the function documentation:
https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-en/library/windows/desktop/aa379885(v=vs.85).aspx

JUSTIFICATION :
This enhancement is necessary because Java users that have their certificates and private keys stored in CNG providers are not able to use them to authenticate themselves, or create digital signatures and encrypted messages.

EXPECTED VERSUS ACTUAL BEHAVIOR :
EXPECTED -
The private key stored using CNG should be available to be used in a Java application.
ACTUAL -
The private key stored using CNG is not available to be used in a Java application.
