Access X509 Store in Service Fabric application

Question

I've put my certificates in LocalMachine/My and want to access them thusly:

var store = new X509Store(StoreName.My, StoreLocation.LocalMachine);
store.Open(OpenFlags.ReadOnly);
var x509Certificate2Collection = store.Certificates.Find(X509FindType.FindByThumbprint, certThumbprint, false);
var myCert = x509Certificate2Collection.Count > 0 ? x509Certificate2Collection[0] : null;
store.Close();

This works fine on my local cluster, but not on my standalone one. The certificate I'm trying to access has NETWORK SERVICE in ACL for private keys.

I'd assume it's a permissions issue. Am I missing something obvious here?

How can I debug my standalone cluster?

Answer 1

The above code works fine. My issue was that my thumbprint was "" because I hadn't set my config overrides correctly!
