About Certificates

The settings Store, Location, and Thumbprint on the lower part of the dialog allow the user to enter values from a certificate.

The user can enter an official certificate. Certificates are available via certificate authorities.

Self-signed certificates are also accepted.

Creating a self-sign certificate

Self-signed certificates can be created using a Microsoft tool: Makecert.exe.

For detailed information about Makecert.exe, specifically for certification creation, see:

http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bfsktky3.aspx

1. This tool can be downloaded, but only together with the Windows SDK, from the following library:

   http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa386968(VS.85).aspx

2. For an SSL certificate, a root authority certificate must be created which can be done using the following command. The certificate name "Dev Certification Authority" can be edited as required:

   Copy

   makecert -sv SignRoot.pvk -cy authority -r signroot.cer -a sha1 -n "CN=Dev Certification Authority" -ss my -sr localmachine

3. In the Microsoft Management Console (MMC), add the Certificates snap-in and move the "Dev Certification Authority"  (or your chosen name) certificate from the Certificates folder under Personal to the Certificates folder in Trusted Root Certification Authorities via drag and drop.

4. Use the following command to create the SSL certificate (where localhost is the full, qualified domain name of the local computer):

   Copy

   makecert -iv SignRoot.pvk -ic signroot.cer -cy end -pe

Configuring the Certificate for the Webservice port

Both certificates obtained from certificate authorities and self-sign certificates must be configured for the Webservice port.

The port must be the same as the one defined in the Solution Designer (see above).  

The APP ID is:

1d728dd3-2b81-489e-9af2-57bd847ee271

Configuration is described on the following website:
