Mark,



Thanks! Do those methods (SetOptions and SetClientCertificateFile) modify the request header? Essentially, what I'm attempting to do is something along these lines in PB Classic:



public static X509Certificate2 GetClientCertificate()

{

var store = new X509Store(StoreName.My, StoreLocation.CurrentUser);

string certCode = ConfigurationManager.AppSettings["certCode"].ToString();

X509Certificate2Collection certificatesFound;



try

{

store.Open(OpenFlags.ReadOnly);

//Specify the SPID certficate serial number to intiate the certificate

certificatesFound = store.Certificates.Find(X509FindType.FindBySerialNumber, certCode, true);



store.Close();



if (certificatesFound == null || certificatesFound.Count == 0)

{

throw new InvalidOperationException("Could not find a certificate!");

}

}

catch (Exception ex)

{

throw ex;

}

finally

{

if (store != null)

store.Close();

}

return certificatesFound[0];

}

Hi Timothy,



1. I suggest you upgrade your PB to PB 2019 R2 Build 2323 and use the new module of .NET DLL Importer. You can compile the code as a C# simple class to a DLL file and then import it to PB to pass the same function. You can find it in the local Help documentation and how to invoke it.

https://docs.appeon.com/appeon_online_help/pb2019r2/application_techniques/ch20s02.html



Note: currently some complex C# classes do not support it. You can refer to the below link:

2. You can also refer to the following link and see how another customer resolves this problem.

Hi Mark,

the link you posted refers to a 3rd party library and marks that library as accepted solution.

Nothing against that, Chilkat is a very good set of API and I too use it sometimes.

But I think a solution in this forum should be a a little bit more creative than just purchasing an external tool.



I like the idea of using .NET DLL importer. In that way it is possibile to use System.Net.HttpWebRequest and its ClientCertificates.Add() API for passing the certificate file.

A temporary solution until HTTPClient will provide built-in certificate support. :-)

Best,

Hi Gregory,

We plan to implement this feature in PB 2019 R3. However, I can’t guarantee it because this plan might be changed due to some additional requirements.

Thanks for your understanding.

Regards,
