      When MongoD loads a certificate from the Windows certificate store, it verifies there is a accessible private key to give users a clear error. This works correctly for CryptAPI created certificates but not CNG created certificates.

      Additionally, we should warn users that if we get NTE_BAD_KEYSET, they need to fix their permissions on the private key when we load a CNG certificate.
