Hi guys,
I have taken quite some time to look for a sample Web Services client which uses SSL to communicate.
My confusions are how to handle logics at client side dealing with certificate and CA certificate, and how to make such certificate and a CA certificate to make a test? Does anyone have any samples to recommend?
thanks!
You require Self SSL tool to generate a certificate and test your application.Quote:

Run Self SSL and type the following command in the console.
Code:selfssl.exe /N:CN=<your machine name> /K:1024 /V:7 /S:1 /P:443
You resolved half of my confusion, another unresolved one is sample code to write an SSL client to access Web Services. I am surprised it is so hard to find one.
My initialitive is to parse domain information of certificate from server, and if some specific domain name, accept server certificate and proceed, or else, do not proceed.
Do you know where or where to find such a sample?

And just for my info, which webservice is it you are trying to consume? Is it WCF web service ?
Thanks, but when I opened the file iisTools.chm, and select SelfSSL, and it just contains overview and syntax section, no install or samples? -- beyond yours. :-)
Yes, I want to host WCF as Windows Services and remote access by Web Services (the reason why I want to use WCF is because it is convenient to write and save time, and the reason why I write Web Services client other than WCF client is because some client are not using Windows OS and some clients do not have .Net CLR 3.0 installed.)

Also, there is a wonderful tool available on the net to test web services (SOAP UI). SOAP UI is a java client and you can very well configure it to suit your needs...
Hope this helps..
Thanks MMH. Good advice, not almost forget all about Java...
Anyway, do you have any SSL client samples, my confusion is how to write the callbacks dealing with server certificate acceptance...
