How to specify a certificate in the cert store for gRPC .NET Core?

Question

I'm trying to specify a certificate in the cert store for gRPC .NET Core 3.1.

I found a way to specify a certificate by setting the path.

https://medium.com/@mcilis/how-to-publish-net-core-grpc-server-as-a-windows-service-dd562a1e263d

    "Certificates": {
        "Default": {
            "Path": "Your_Path_To_Certificate_Pfx",
            "Password": "Pfx_File_Password"
        }
    }

But is it possible to specify one in the Windows Certificate store with appsettings.json? Or is it possible only by code?

I found an answer when I saw a stack trace.

These are the parameters for the Windows certificate store.

• Subject
• Store
• Location
• AllowInvalid
