Disable SSL Certificate Negotiation Validation

SSL is required for a growing number of scenarios yet a public certificate which is produced by a trusted certificate authority is not always available. In such scenarios we use self signed certificates. The problems with these certificates is that all certificate validation mechanisms will fail. To overcome that we need to do the following:

1. Disable WCF certificate validation

      <endpointBehaviors>
        <behavior name="clientBehavior">
          <clientCredentials>
            <serviceCertificate>
              <authentication certificateValidationMode="None"/>
            </serviceCertificate>
          </clientCredentials>
        </behavior>
      </endpointBehaviors>

2. Disable Http certificate validation

 ServicePointManager.ServerCertificateValidationCallback =

     new RemoteCertificateValidationCallback(delegate  { return true;  });
