Run the below powershell to generate new certificates.

Once run copy aspnetapp-root-cert.cer and aspnetapp-web-api.pfx from "C:\Projects\TransactionProcessing\SecurityService\Certificates" to "C:\Projects\TransactionProcessing\SecurityService\SecurityService"

# Set this to $true to force re-creation of certs $forceOverwrite = $true # or $false to skip existing certs
