Configuring ClientId and Certificates

  • Log on to the web server
  • Open the Windows Explorer and browse to the folder of the Make website
  • Open and edit the web.config file
  • In the appSettings section configure the following keys:
    • ClientId (as provided on delivery of the packages)
  • ClientSigningCertificateSerialNumber (serial number if the STS certificate in the store)
    • IssuerId (STS TokenIssuer as registered in SharePoint)

<appSettings>
  <add key="ClientId" value="24f053cb-5647-4b0d-9064-ba8a703c1a54" />
  <add key="ClientSigningCertificateSerialNumber" value="1615C819F09CB6A04914E45A10BA7174" />
  <add key="IssuerId" value="1d381049-1f6f-4549-8c04-617cbccc2607" />
</appSettings>

Referencing the certificate by serial number is recommended for production scenario’s. In a development scenario you can opt to specify the full path to the certificate and the certificate password by adding the ClientSigningCertificatePath and ClientSigningCertificatePassword keys in the web.config instead of the serial number. Note that this is less secure and not recommended for a production environment.
