Solving Access Denied error when creating an X509Certificate2 in .net

 

You may encounter access denied error while creating certificate in .net
But you've granted permission to certFilePath folder and no issue with this.
You have no issue in development environment too.
Only occur in Production server.
How to solve?
While creating certificate, by default it will create physical cert file in server.
Since production servers are configured with limited permissions/access rights and mostly deny access by default due to security concerns, there are high chances that you will get access denied error.
So stop wasting time with access rights.
Instead, create certificate on memory using "X509KeyStorageFlags.EphemeralKeySet" flag.
Ya. this is the solution when you need to create cert temporally.
It works on both development & prod environment regardless of access rights.


and don't forgot dispose after using it.

certificate.Dispose();

.net, c#, asp.net

Fixing WCF HTTPS Endpoint 404 Errors

Windows Communication Foundation (WCF) may be considered an old technology, but many legacy .NET projects still rely on it. If you are working with WCF services hosted in IIS, you may encounter an issue when exposing services over HTTPS . When the service is exposed over HTTPS, the <service name> defined in your web.config must exactly match the fully qualified type name of the service implementation class defined in the .svc file. If they do not match, WCF cannot resolve the endpoint, resulting in a 404 error . Example of Incorrect Configuration <service name="ServiceA"> ... </service> Correct Configuration <service name="ProjectA.Setup.Service.ServiceA"> ... </service> This small detail often gets overlooked, but ensuring the names match is essential for WCF to properly locate and expose the ...
