Client Certificate issues

[Gilbert E. Smalls]

Can tell me what in the world I'm doing wrong with trying to create my certificate so  I can store it in app settings?

This line works fine

var cert = new X509Certificate2("client.certificate.pfx");

However, when I try to just get the raw data, by just using this certificate

var stringOfCert = Convert.ToBase64String(cert.RawData);

Certificate = new X509Certificate2(Convert.FromBase64String( stringOfCert  ), password)

I get the following error

{"Type":"InvalidAuth","Message":"This server requires client certificate for authentication, but none was provided by the client."}

The password is from the "PASSWORD" file downloaded as part of the certificate

There doesn't seem to any documentation on this that doesn't involve me having to commit a .pfx file.

Any idea why it can't just use connection strings like MongoDb ect?

How are you hosting this application? Have you tried passing UserKeySet or MachineKeySet to the ctor of the certificate?
