I have a WebService on IIS 6.0 in Windows Server 2003 SP1. I recently 
created a certificate using the certificate services and installed it on IIS 
so the WebService directory uses SSL. I reimported WSDL classes into my 
projects and everything works fine when accessing the WebService remotely 
through SSL.

My problem is that I have a suite of applications that run on the same 
server as IIS that also use the WebService. None of these applications can 
successfully connect to the WebService while running on that server (they 
work fine if I run them remotely). I get an error box that says "The 
certificate authority is invalid or incorrect."

Any ideas what's causing this or how I can get around it?

Thanks,
Dave

Hello Dave,

I am not sure why the transport thinks that the certificate is invalid but
there's an option that might be helpful: The THTTPReqResp component has a
property 'InvokeOptions' that expose a 'soIgnoreInvalidCert' setting. When
enabled, the component will set the INTERNET_FLAG_xxxx flags to ignore
expired/invalid dates and disable the host name check performed by WinInet.

Maybe the certificate is assigned to a different host than how you're
accessing the server (during our recent switch from 'borland' to 'codegear'
my tests with Borland webservices generated a similar error because the
certificate is assigned to 'borland', not the 'codegear.com' I'm now using).

Let me know if the above does not help and we'll investigate some more.

Cheers,

Bruneau.

PS: As a client you get to that property via
THTTPRIO->HTTPWebMode->InvokeOptions.
