RavenDb 4 Part 2 - Client Configuration

Part 1 of this article can be found here

Architecture Diagram

Now we have our RavenDb servers set up lets create a web app from scratch that will communicate with the RavenDb cluster.

dotnet new webapp -o ravendemo
dotnet add package RavenDB.Client --version 4.1.5
dotnet add package Microsoft.AspNetCore.Hosting.WindowsServices

We need our web app to be able to run as a service so in Program.cs replace CreateWebHostBuilder(args).Build().Run with:

var host = CreateWebHostBuilder(args).Build();
var isService = args.Contains("--service");
if (isService)
{
	var baseDirectory = new FileInfo(Assembly.GetEntryAssembly().Location).Directory.FullName;
	Directory.SetCurrentDirectory(baseDirectory);
}
if (isService)
{
	ServiceBase.Run(new WebHostService(host));
}
else
{
	host.Run();
}

Lets now add some code to configure the RavenDb DocumentStore singleton.

        X509Certificate2 certificate = new X509Certificate2(Path.Combine(AppDomain.CurrentDomain.BaseDirectory, "client.pfx"));
        store.Certificate = certificate;
        store.Initialize();
        using(var session = store.OpenSession())
        {
            session.Store(new Order { Name="order1"});
            session.SaveChanges();
        }

instead lets use // var x509 = new X509Store(StoreLocation.LocalMachine); // x509.Open(OpenFlags.ReadOnly); // var certificate = x509.Certificates.Find(X509FindType.FindBySubjectName, "*.mooo.com", true)[0];
