I have a web service I want to call:
https://someserver.com/Service
The service is built on a IBM WAS server in Java. It is using SSL authentication so on the WAS server a certificate was created and they sent us the public .cer file and a WSDL file.
On my side I have a .net application that is set up based on the WSDL file to consume the service. I installed the .cer file on the calling machine using keystore (a java application) per the Service developer’s instructions.
When I try to consume the service I get the error:
The request was aborted: Could not create SSL/TLS secure channel.
What should I be doing in order to get the SSL channel working? Does keystore’s installation of the certificate work with .net applications? Do I need to use the certificate in another way?
Update:
I found I can install the certificate on my machine by double-clicking it… but that seems to have had no effect and still get the same error.
You need to create a WCF client and in the binding set the security to message and configure the binding to use the certificate.
