How to add multi line Issuer & Subject to appsettings.json

[vbncmx]

Hi Xavier,

thank you for a good intro to using client certification

I face the following issue:

An organization provided us with a certificate, with several lines in subject & issuer:

Subject:

CN = xxxxx SERIALNUMBER = xxxxx 7.1.3.24 = xxxxxx O = xxxxx ...

Issuer:

CN = xxxxx OU = xxxxx OU = xxxxx ...

Are you aware of the format to write that down in appsettings.json?

Another option would be adding client certs by thumbprint, but looks like it does not work

Try the following code to get your subject. You can use linqpad.

var cert = new X509Certificate2(@"C:\temp\user.mylocalmachine.cer");

var snippet = @"
    {{
      ""Issuer"": ""{0}"",
      ""Subject"": ""{1}"",
      ""Roles"": [
        ""INSERT_ROLES""
      ]
    }},
";
Console.WriteLine(snippet, cert.Issuer, cert.Subject);

Thanks, indeed I could look at these field since the cert is loaded on the client side)

However I modified your code a bit to mark valid certs with the Thumbprint. It is just more handy in my case
