A simple script that creates and trusts a self-signed development certificate for dotnet on Ubuntu.
The script uses openssl to create a self-signed certificate. The certificate will then be imported and trusted at:
- System certificates - to enable service-to-service communication
- User nssdb - to trust the certificate in supported application like Chromium or Microsoft Edge
- Snap Chromium nssdb - to trust the certificate in Chromium if installed via snap
- Snap Postman nssdb - to trust the certificate in Postman if installed via snap
In addition the certificate will be imported into dotnet so that it will be used as a development certificate in ASP.NET Core.
- dotnet-sdk
- libnss3-tools (install via
sudo apt install libnss3-tools)
Simply run the script.
./create-dotnet-devcert
