Visual Studio 2017 gives 'Adding the Certificate to The Trusted Root Certificates store failed with the following Errror'

Question

I am trying to run ASP MVC application with SSL mode set to true and whenever i run the application, i get prompt to trust the IIS Express SSL certificate. Upon clicking Yes

Answer 1

My error was actually "asp.net developer certificate is not installed" but I think the solution below would still work in this case. Execute the following commands in command prompt.

dotnet dev-certs https --trust --check
echo Trust check: %errorlevel%
dotnet dev-certs https --trust -ep "%APPDATA%\ASP.NET\https\TestCert.pfx" -p TestPassword
echo Trust/Export: %errorlevel%
