AddSigningCredential for IdentityServer4

Question

We are using IdentityServer4 with .NET Core Web Application(\"http://docs.identityserver.io/en/release/quickstarts/0_overview.html\"). We have replaced AddDeveloperSigning

Answer 1

Here is a simple way of using the X509 self-signed certificate.

One way to use a self-signed certificate to use for token signing with IdentityServer4 is to store the certificate with the application under the 'wwwroot' folder.

public void ConfigureServices(IServiceCollection services)
{
        .....other code .....

        var fileName = Path.Combine(env.WebRootPath, "YOUR_FileName" );            

        if (!File.Exists(fileName))
        {
            throw new FileNotFoundException("Signing Certificate is missing!");
        }

        var cert = new X509Certificate2(fileName, "Your_PassPhrase" );

        services.AddIdentityServer().AddSigningCredential(cert)

        ...other code.....
}
