• Microsoft Internet Information Systems (IIS)
• HTTP and HTTPS
• X509v3 Certificates

Setup

To use this sample do the following:

1. Either clone the repository https://github.com/Safewhere/CHTestSigningService.git to C:\CHTestSigningService, or unpack the provided zip-file CHTestSigningService.zip to C:\CHTestSigningService.
2. Open C:\CHTestSigningService\Kombit.Samples.CHTestSigningService.sln in Visual Studio, and build the solution.
3. Make sure an SSL certificate that covers the DNS name chtestsigningservice.projekt-stoettesystemerne.dk is present in LocalMachine\My certificate store.
4. Open the Hosts-file, and map the DNS name chtestsigningservice.projekt-stoettesystemerne.dk to 127.0.0.1.
5. Create a new IIS web application:
   1. The Site name should be chtestsigningservice.projekt-stoettesystemerne.dk
   2. The Physical pathshould be C:\CHTestSigningService\Kombit.Samples.CHTestSigningService
   3. The Binding type should be HTTPS
   4. The Host name should be chtestsigningservice.projekt-stoettesystemerne.dk
   5. Select an appropriate SSL certificate, that matches the host name chosen in the previous step
6. Grant the application pool identity for the web application read and execute permissions to C:\CHTestSigningService\
7. Import the certificate C:\CHTestSigningService\Certificates\certificate.p12 to LocalMachine\My.
8. Assign the application pool identity for the web application read permissions to the private key for the certificate imported in the previous step.
9. Open a browser and point it to https://chtestsigningservice.projekt-stoettesystemerne.dk

Configuration Parameters
