The remote certificate is invalid according to the validation procedure.

[towpse]

Just moved my web app up to a staging environment and I'm getting this error. I suspect it has something to do with an IIS error I was getting locally on my machine and used the following code to resolve it.
It seems that this is not working on our staging environment. Not sure how to resolve at this point. Maybe someone can offer some suggestions.

[AuthenticationException: The remote certificate is invalid according to the validation procedure.]

Setup web service in rad scheduler:

<WebServiceSettings Path="SchedulerWebService.asmx"
                ResourcePopulationMode="ServerSide" />

Handle on resource populating 

 

 

 

OnResourcesPopulating="RadScheduler1_ResourcesPopulating"

        protected void RadScheduler1_ResourcesPopulating(object sender, Telerik.Web.UI.ResourcesPopulatingEventArgs e)
        {
            HttpCookie cookie = FormsAuthentication.GetAuthCookie(User.Identity.Name, false);
            string cookieHeader = string.Format("{0}={1}", cookie.Name, cookie.Value);
            e.Headers.Add(HttpRequestHeader.Cookie, cookieHeader);
        }

Hello,

Since you're accessing the RadScheduler web service via HTTPS, you'll need to handle the certificate validation using the ServerCertificateValidationCallback.

This is a short sample. Be sure to actually verify the certificate in the actual production code.

ServicePointManager.ServerCertificateValidationCallback = ValidateCertificate;

// ...

protected virtual bool ValidateCertificate(Object obj, X509Certificate certificate, X509Chain chain, SslPolicyErrors errors)
{
    if (errors == SslPolicyErrors.None)
        return true;

    return false;
}

I hope this helps.

Hi Tsvetomir,

I am facing the same issue and I have to find out what to do asap. 
This is how we define the web service method call

<WebServiceSettings Path="Schedule/SchedulerWebService.asmx" ResourcePopulationMode="ServerSide">

Where is that above example snippet code supposed to be stated ? global asax ???  

Thank you

Hi,

Since it is a global "setting" it would be preferred to set it in the Application_Start method in Global.asax. Yet this is a rather general issue that is not related to RadScheduler so I would recommend you to refer to some other ASP. NET forum.
