How to bypass SSL certificate error in Windows CE

Question

I want to bypass the SSL certificate error of web service in Windows CE.

There are many solutions for .net Windows applications such as;

Bypass invalid SSL certificate errors when calling web services in .Net

But in windows ce I can not import ServicePointManager library.

So is there another way to do this in Windows CE ?

Answer 1

You can in fact use the ServicePointManager in the CF as well. First, create a policy that accepts everything, as so:

public class TrustAllCertificatePolicy : ICertificatePolicy
{
    public TrustAllCertificatePolicy()
    {
    }

    public bool CheckValidationResult(ServicePoint sp,
        X509Certificate cert, WebRequest req, int problem)
    {
        return true;
    }
}

To use this class, you should run the following code once per application session (each time the application is started; the TrustAllCertificatePolicy instance will be used each time an SSL connection is made), and before you make any Web requests (preferably on application startup).

System.Net.ServicePointManager.CertificatePolicy = new TrustAllCertificatePolicy();

This solution is equivalent to answering yes to any security messages that would normally appear in a browser.
