I am try to setup "Example: Deploy to a non-Azure web hosting provider" in application settings json but it does not work. It can not find certificate in store, many developer have same problem. Can you please investigate issue and add detailed topic how to setup IdentityServer in appsetting.production.json

"IdentityServer": {
    // I just add .pfx file to hosted Blazor project and it work in Visual Studio, in prod IIS it show error404
    "Key": {
      "Type": "File",
      "FilePath": "MyIdentityServer.pfx",
      "Password": "P@ssw0rd"
    }

    // This not work in VS2019 or/and IIS , selfsigned cert created in iis or cert tool same issue cant find cert in certificate stores.
    //  "Key": {
    //    "Type": "Store",
    //    "StoreName": "WebHosting",
    //    "StoreLocation": "LocalMachine",
    //    "Name": "CN = MyIdentityServer"

Thanks for the suggestion. We only have the resources to outline non-Azure hosting. You shouldn't store secrets in app settings files.

I just try to production deploy to local IIS , the application is Blazor hosted Web application.

This sounds like a general question about using ASP.NET Core. While we try to look at and respond to all issues, for questions like this we recommend posting to a community support group like Stack Overflow with the asp.net-core tag.

We only have the Azure hosting scenario covered in the Blazor topic ...

https://docs.microsoft.com/aspnet/core/blazor/security/webassembly/hosted-with-identity-server#host-in-azure-app-service-with-a-custom-domain-and-certificate

I agree with @Rick-Anderson's suggestion to ask the community for help. Also, check the Identity Server doc set.

I've marked this issue on my tracking issue for document updates at #19286 to take a look at this scenario (IIS hosting) when I reach that topic. If you get an answer as to what went wrong, please do post back what you figured out here.
