I have a project that I am working on with Asp.net Core 5.0 and electronNet. I am getting a Certificate authority error.
How can I handle this with electronNet I am not sure where I need to configure the Certificates .when starting the app.

Certificates need to be added to the system. There are settings in Electron where you can disable SSL verification, but in general you should not disable SSL verification or ignore SSL errors.

Here is a StackOverflow answer for adding certificates to the system store:
