I update the .Net Framework(4.4 to 4.5) and TSL(1.1 to 1.2) Certificate in my C# application.
ServicePointManager.SecurityProtocol = SecurityProtocolType.Tls12;
I read somewhere that TSL1.2 run on .Net Framework 4.5 or above.
I also used an upgraded third party library(.dll), after that my application not able to run with normal user privilege. It's always required an administrative privilege.
I debug my program and check why application required an admin
privilege.
I found that my application creates a cert8.db and key3.db file in the root directory (c:\) and for this, it requires an administrative privilege.
How I run my application as a normal user?
As you asked for what is *.db Files, I am giving you some info, hope it helps..
These are called Trust Database Files (*.db Files)
cert8.db = Stores straightforwardly accessible articles, (for instance, confirmations, support revocation records, and S/MIME records)
key3.db = Stores the private keys made by the server
secmod.db = Stores PKCS #11 module setup information
The mix of these archives is typically called the trust in database, and each record expect a substitute part in securing your Web Server.
The cert8.db and key3.db records are used to store open and private keys and supports used for engaging secure connection layer (SSL). The secmod.db report stores information for engaging and orchestrating additional security modules that can be used with the Web Server, (for instance, hardware accelerator cards).
