How to configure SSL certificate programmatically

[htran-21]

Hi,

I have a config.json (it works fine) like

{
  "certificates": {
    "validate": true,
    "allow_self_signed": false,
    "cert_chain": [
      "/path2cert/entrust_l1k.pem",
      "/path2cert/entrust_g2.pem"
    ]
  }
  ...
}

How could i write it in programming? Because ServerCertFileInfo property only allow me to specify one cert file

var client = new ConnectedThingClient(new ClientConfigurator
{
	AllowSelfSignedCertificates = false,                
	DisableCertValidation = false,
	ServerCertFileInfo = new CertFileInfo { CertType = 0 /* TLS */, FilePath = @"/path2cert/entrust_g2.pem" },
	
	...
});

Any help would be greatly appreciated

Hi,

Thanks for your quick reply, however you misread my question, the Thingworx server is configured properly, it's already been working with config.json + wsems / localems. I just don't know how to setup cert chain for the ClientConfigurator object.
