self signed cert. The underlying connection was closed: Could not establish trust relationship

Question

Trying to set up a self signed certificate, for our intranet\'s web services site. The certificate itself shows it is \"ok\" but when trying to invoke a method from the web

Answer 1

Add this line of code somewhere before you create your service client.

ServicePointManager.ServerCertificateValidationCallback = ((sender, certificate, chain, sslPolicyErrors) => true);

Do note: this will cause your app to accept all invalid certs and just keep moving. If this is not acceptable, you can attach a function to that and do processing to determine if the cert error is ok or not
