Configuring SSL on ASP.NET Self-Hosted Web API

Configuring SSL on ASP.NET Self-Hosted Web API

To configure SSL on an ASP.NET self-hosted Web API, you can use the HttpSelfHostConfiguration class to set up an SSL certificate for your web server.

Here are the steps to configure SSL on an ASP.NET self-hosted Web API:

  • Obtain an SSL certificate for your web server. You can either purchase a certificate from a trusted certificate authority or create a self-signed certificate for development purposes.

  • Add the following namespace to your code file:

using System.Web.Http.SelfHost;
  • Create an instance of the HttpSelfHostConfiguration class and set the HttpsBinding property to an instance of the HttpsBinding class, passing in your SSL certificate.
var config = new HttpSelfHostConfiguration("https://localhost:44300/"); config.HttpsBinding = new HttpsBinding(new X509Certificate2("certificate.pfx", "password"));

In this example, we create an instance of the HttpSelfHostConfiguration class and set the HttpsBinding property to an instance of the HttpsBinding class, passing in the path to our SSL certificate file and the password to access it.

  • Create a new instance of the HttpSelfHostServer class, passing in the HttpSelfHostConfiguration object.
var server = new HttpSelfHostServer(config);
  • Start the server using the OpenAsync method of the HttpSelfHostServer object.
await server.OpenAsync();
  • Test your SSL configuration by accessing your Web API using a web browser or a tool like Postman, using the https:// protocol and the appropriate port number.

Note that in addition to setting up SSL on your web server, you should also configure your client code to use SSL when communicating with your Web API. You can do this by using the HttpClient class and setting the BaseAddress property to the HTTPS URL of your Web API.
