Store X509 Certificate in database

Question

In order to access to the web service I need a certificate.

I generated my certs:

openssl genrsa 1024 > private.key
openssl req -new -x509 -nodes -sha         


        

Answer 1

You have a constructor with a byte[]. So you can store your certificate as a byte array and load your certificate with

public X509Certificate2(
    byte[] rawData
)
