Hi.

I'm accessing a remote web service in two ways: a) with SSL, b) without SSL.
In this second way I have no troubles, but with SSL I'm getting this
exception:

"The underlying connection was closed: Could not establish trust
relationship for the SSL/TLS secure channel. The remote certificate is
invalid according to the validation procedure"

I'm accessing via https://ip-server:port/virtual-dir/webservice.asmx. I have
the certificate installed in my PC. The server is not my localhost.

Thanks.

there are a lot of articles on this. e.g.:

the basic idea is to implmnt your own certificate policy. in your
case, you trust the remote site, so u don't need to chk the remote
cert, simply accept it, i.e, return true.
