Postman

A collection of Postman requests have been included to demonstrate the functionality of the Mock Data Holder.

In order to use the Postman requests:

1. Go to https://www.postman.com/downloads/ to download and install the Postman app.
2. Once installed, open the Postman app.
3. In the Collections section, click on the Import button.

4. Ensure that the mock-data-holder.postman_collection.json file has been downloaded to the local device (git clone or downloaded).
5. Browse for the mock-data-holder.postman_collection.json file from the Files tab.

6. Click on the Import button.

7. The Mock Data Holder collection should now be available in the Postman app.

In order to make the mTLS requests (https://localhost:8001) in the Mock Data Holder collection, a client certificate needs to be added in the Postman app. To add the client.pfx certificate:

1. In the Postman app, click on the Settings option from the File menu.

2. In the Settings window, click on the Certificates tab and then on the Add Certificate option.

3. Add the server.pfx certificate for all requests to https://localhost:8001.

• The server.pfx file can be found in the Mock Data Holder repository at: CertificateManagement/mTLS/server.pfx.
• The password for the server.pfx certificate is #M0ckDataHolder#

4. The server.pfx certificate should now be sent to all Postman requests to the Mock Data Holder mTLS endpoint - https://localhost:8001.

5. In order to simulate requests from the Mock Data Recipient to the Mock Data Holder, a client certificate needs to be added in the Postman app. To add the client.pfx certificate you will need to obtain a copy from the Mock Data Recipient reopsitory.

6. Add the client.pfx certificate for all requests to https://localhost:8002.

• The `client.pfx' file can be found in the Mock Data Recipient reporitory at: mock-data-recipient/Source/CDR.DataRecipient.Web/Certificates/client.pfx
• The password for the client.pfx certificate is #M0ckDataRecipient#
