Summary

This is just a small customization, but it should help if you want to share the code between different platforms, or if you want to run your application on Docker and don't want to worry about certificate stores, and so on.

Usually, if you run your application behind a web server such as an IIS or NGINX, you don't need to care about certificates in your ASP.NET Core 6.0 application. However, if you host your application inside another application, on Docker, or without an IIS or NGINX, you will need to.

In the next chapter, we're going to talk about how to configure the hosting of ASP.NET Core web applications.
