Running the code locally your IDE does the work for you but when you deploy to a web server you will need to make some changes / configuration updates:

  1. Install both the .net core SDK and Runtime

    2. For the .Net Core Runtime you will want the Hosting Bundle Installer
    3. Reboot the host
  2. Update the sites Application Pool , set the .NET CLR version to No Managed Code
  3. Update the service configuration for IISOptions in ConfigureServices
    1. This will be in ‘Startup.cs’ (see below)

services.Configure<IISOptions>(options => 
{ 
    options.ForwardClientCertificate = false;
