I created a Windows Service which self host an API endpoint inside it using WebHostBuilder.
The authentication mechanism is handled by IdentityServer for the endpoint which runs in a different URL.
Everything works when I setup it without SSL. When I start using SSL there where certificate errors.
Also everything works in dev environment when debugging via Visual Studio.
Once I install the service as a Windows Service, From then I'm getting these certificate errors.
This is the configuration in Startup
public void ConfigureServices(IServiceCollection services)
{
var authority = Configuration.GetSection("Security:Authentication:Authority").Value;
services.AddAuthentication("Bearer")
.AddJwtBearer("Bearer", options =>
{
options.Authority = authority;
options.TokenValidationParameters = new TokenValidationParameters
{
ValidateAudience = false
};
});
services.AddAuthorization(options =>
{
options.AddPolicy("ApiScope", policy =>
{
policy.RequireAuthenticatedUser();
policy.RequireClaim(JwtClaimTypes.Scope, "api.read");
});
});
services.AddControllers();
}
public void Configure(IApplicationBuilder app)
{
app.UseRouting();
app.UseAuthentication();
app.UseAuthorization();
app.UseEndpoints(endpoints =>
{
endpoints.MapControllerRoute(
name: "default",
pattern: "{controller=Home}/{action=Index}/{id?}");
});
}
I'm trying to host it as a Windows service outside of VisualStudio. For that I created a self signed certificate from IIS and exported it as pfx. Then installed it to the Trusted Root Store. Then configured Kestrel like this
var host = new WebHostBuilder()
.UseKestrel(options =>
{
options.ListenAnyIP(443, listenOptions =>
{
listenOptions.UseHttps("certificate.pfx", "password@123");
});
})
.UseUrls(config.ApiBaseUrl)
.UseConfiguration(configigurations)
.UseStartup<Startup>()
.Build();
host.Run();
These are the logs
