c# - Certificate authentication with a self-signed certificate -


i have client application (windows service) sends request (webclient.uploadstring()) web service. i've created certificate through iis. attach webclient before sending request. however, following message:

the remote certificate invalid according validation procedure. 

i believe referring server having invalid certificate, unsure of best way make client trust server. eventaully, web service installed on number of servers windows service can't attach certificate single computer. ideas?

i don't know exact situation/setup, here general info on using self-signed certificates.

if want use self-signed certificate need add certificate server's trusted root certificate store.

basically server not trust certificate used sign certificate, certificate since self-signed.

as alternative, can create own root certificate , add server's trusted root, use sign additional client certificates. make easier because won't have install each client certificate on server, root 1 used signing.

of course, can buy certificate company (godaddy, verisign, etc). these signed certificate trusted.

also, there might ways bypass checking, don't want that.
