Exception when testing Identity Service Connect token via Postman 'the system cannot find the path specified'

Hello everyone,
I have set up and configured Identity Service in IIS and now I am trying to test it in postman (https://identityservice_url/connect/token).
 
I am getting the following exception in identity service log:
 
IdentityServer4.Hosting.IdentityServerMiddleware[0]
     Unhandled exception: The system cannot find the file specified.
     Internal.Cryptography.CryptoThrowHelper+WindowsCryptographicException: The system cannot find the file specified.

Does someone knows why might this be happening?
