Rest Client C＃的Web.config中的SSl证书详细信息

Question

In WCF or web services we add details of certificate in client credential tag as below:

<clientCredentials>
    <clientCertificate storeLocation="LocalMachine" x509FindType="FindBySubjectName" storeName="My" findValue="XYZ" />
</clientCredentials>

But how can we configure it in Rest Client Case where we just need to access a URI of RestFul service.?

Answer 1

You can add a client certificate to a web request like this.

X509Store store = new X509Store("My", StoreLocation.CurrentUser);
store.Open(OpenFlags.ReadOnly);

X509Certificate2Collection certificates = store.Certificates.Find(X509FindType.FindBySubjectKeyIdentifier, "XYZ", true);
X509Certificate2 certificate = certificates[0];

HttpWebRequest request = new HttpWebRequest();
request.ClientCertificates.Add(certificate); 

Note: WebRequest is obsolete.

Try using HttpClient instead, which would look something like this

X509Store store = new X509Store("My", StoreLocation.CurrentUser);
store.Open(OpenFlags.ReadOnly);

X509Certificate2Collection certificates = store.Certificates.Find(X509FindType.FindBySubjectKeyIdentifier, "XYZ", true);
X509Certificate2 certificate = certificates[0];

WebRequestHandler handler = new WebRequestHandler();
handler.ClientCertificates.Add(certificate);
HttpClient client = new HttpClient(handler);
