----------------------------------------------------------------------


	I am creating the SP and my Client (who has the IdP) has sent me a .pem file to Validate the Saml response.

	Earlier I validated the response by a .pfx file and everything was fine.

	Im not really expert with cryptography and find it quite difficult to even understand the difference between a .pfx file and a .pem file.

	All I know is earlier I created an instance of X509Certificate2 from the .pfx file and used it to validate the response. But this time I cant seem to find a way to do it with .pem file.

	My client is not willing to share the .pfx file as they say it might contains thier private key.

	 

	[code lang='c#']

	var ssoSamlCertificatefile = "C:\Some\location\abcd.pem

	

		var x509Certificate = new X509Certificate2(ssoSamlCertificatefile);
	

		 
	

		 
	

		// Validate the SAML response with the certificate.
	

		if (!samlResponse.Validate(x509Certificate))
	

		{
	

		    throw new ApplicationException("SAML response signature is not valid.");
	

		}


	[/code]

	 

	 

	Please help.
