Passing Client Certificate for authentication to Web Service in ASP.NET Method
To pass Client Certificate for authentication to Web Service in ASP.NET Method , we need to use Web Service Enhancements 2.0 or 3.0 .
Below code shows passing client certificate using WSE 2.0 :
WSE 2.0 method
// Get certificates under Personal in Local Machine Store
X509CertificateStore store =
X509CertificateStore.LocalMachineStore(X509CertificateStore.MyStore);
store.OpenRead();
// Get Certificate Collection with below Subject
X509CertificateCollection col =
(
X509CertificateCollection)store.FindCertificateBySubjectString(“certName”);
X509Certificate cert = null;
cert = col[0];
// Add Certificate to Web Service to pass it
jobService.ClientCertificates.Add(cert);
Below code shows passing client certificate using WSE 3.0 :
WSE 3.0 method
X509Storestore = new X509Store(StoreName.Root, StoreLocation.LocalMachine);
store.Open(
OpenFlags.ReadOnly);
X509Certificate2Collection certs = store.Certificates.Find(X509FindType.FindByIssuerName, certHash, false);
if (certs.Count == 1)
{X509Certificate2 cert =
((
X509Certificate2)certs[0]);
}
jobService.ClientCertificates.Add(cert);
