Aspnetcore: Help: ASP.NET Core 2.1 on Ubuntu 18.04 - COnfigure SSL Certificate

[bhaidar]

Hello,
I am trying to run an ASP.NET Core 2.1 app on Ubuntu 18.04.
When I use the development self-signed certificate, the browsers Chrome and Firefox need me to add an exception to allow the App to run.

What is the proper way to trust a development self-signed certificate on Ubuntu 18.04?

Something related to the above. Where is the development self-signed certificate located on hard disk?

On the other hand, if I want to create my own self-signed certificate. Then, how to tell Kestrel about it?

Thanks

See https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/aspnet/core/fundamentals/servers/kestrel?view=aspnetcore-2.1&tabs=aspnetcore2x for providing your own cert.

@bhaidar There is no centralized trust store in Linux, its on a per distro basis. You can use dotnet dev-certs https -ep <<aspnetcert.crt>> to get the public part of the certificate and from there, use the instructions specific to your distro to trust the certificate.

@javiercn, I think it would be nice to give a tutorial or the steps to achieve that with Ubuntu.

I have the same problem.
I am trying to run standart asp.net core mvc application on my Ubuntu 18.04 machine but I can't do it, because browser gives me "Your connection is not private" (certificate is not valid), but when I am typing in terminal "dotnet dev-certs https" it returns me "A valid HTTPS certificate is already present."
