Desktop/Web app running on .NET or Mono?
I would guess that the issue is due to SSL certificates, and (unless you're
using a commercial cert accepted by IE/Firefox/Chrome/etc. w/o warning) this
cert will be denied by Mono.
If this is the case, the fix is to register the certificate:
http://www.mono-project.com/FAQ:_Security#Secure_Socket_Layer_.28SSL.29_.2F_Transport_Layer_Security_.28TLS.29
Of the three answers provided at the above URL, certmgr and mozroots can't be
used, so you would need to implement the System.Net.ICertificatePolicy
interface.
