How to use redis ( with client certificate requirement ) for session state in asp.net 4.8

harmesh 0

Hello,

We are currently using Redis for session state and SignalR, and everything is working fine because our current Redis server configuration allows connections without a client certificate.

However, we now have a new Redis server that requires a client certificate for connections. We have not found any way to specify certificate-related information in the web.config under the sessionState/providers node.

Any assistance to resolve this issue would be greatly appreciated.

@harmesh Welcome to Microsoft Q&A thanks for posting your question.

Iam not sure of redis directly supporting client cert authentication. Is the Redis instance by chance using Entra auth and you are supposed to do Entra App Client certificate authentication?

Hello Geetha,

No we are not using Entra app. But we can able to connect redis (using custom code to supply client certificate) for caching. But in web.config there is no way to provide certificate related information under sessionState node.

@harmesh Can you create a new issue in the GitHub repo for that package (https://github.com/Azure/aspnet-redis-providers/issues) to request a new feature
