Web service with certificate requirements only work "Run as Administrator"

Hi all

I know this question should maybe be directed somewhere else, but there are some brilliant mind in here and it is related to Dynamics AX 2012 R3 CU13.

We are calling a external web service that require a lot of security settings and a certificate. The certificate is installed on the AOS server in the Local Computer/Personal folder. We have a C# dll handling the service call and handshake things, but for some reason it only works when we start AX "Run as Administrator". We have tested the DLL from a small C# test program and the same goes for this. Only works when Visual Studio is started "Run as Administrator".

This of course is a security issue, but are anybody able to hint me. By the way both my user and the AOS user are local administrators on the AOS server.

Thanks

Thanks but the functionality is running on server.

I found a solution for my problem which was to grant the AOS-account user permissions to "Manage private keys" (right-click the certificate). Now I can run the functionality without a leveraged client.

I think your issue is that you call it from a client code. Make sure that you have a class with RunOn property = Server that calls dll.
