Hi Jim,
I don't know for sure whether this will work for you, but here's an
alternative option I ended up trying out when working with APIA and APIM:
hacking your C# a bit so that it doesn't care so much about non-trusted
certificates.
You can delegate your own function to
ServicePointManager.ServerCertificateValidationCallback, which will bypass
all the usual trust checks and just do what you tell it to.
In my simple testing case, "return true" was good enough for me, but perhaps
you'd want to do some further checks to verify that it is the self-signed
cert you're expecting.
Example (before credentials are set and passed):
--
ServicePointManager.ServerCertificateValidationCallback = delegate { return
true; };
I never actually ended up using my weird little C# client for anything
except testing, and I used it with the SOAP services rather than REST, but I
think that trick might help you out somewhat if you don't want to purchase a
certificate and can live with the lack of validation (or some custom
validation you build yourself).
Cheers!
Kim
