I am new to windows phone. I am developing a web-app and the test environment uses a self signed HTTPS certificate. Is there any way of accessing the test environment pages from an internal WebBrowser in my page?
I tried loading the URL but I always get the NavigationFailed event, with no details on the error. If I load a normal HTTP url, it works.
Any suggestion will be greatly appreciated.
Try installing the certificate on your phone. Email the certificate to yourself, and then open that email on the phone.

can i write some code to make it secure ?? or what can i do ??
when login in my website make it Not secure As it is shown in the picture
Google chrome is showing "Not Secure" if you don't have SSL certificate. If you want to show label "Secure", you need to run your website under HTTPS
Has anyone stumbled upon this error:
Error code: sec_error_pkcs11_device_error
I get it when I'm trying to access a web page where I should authenticate with my digital certificate (SSL). My certificate is not expired yet and now I'm getting this error.
Please anyone help.
I have got this error with Firefox browser while trying to use a certificate which was not trusted by the server (IIS 7.5) having to use it. Using a trusted certificate on server side solved the issue for me.
If you need more detailed instructions on how to handle certificates, I found following resources quite valuable:
https://www.sslshopper.com/article-how-to-create-a-self-signed-certificate-in-iis-7.html
https://www.sslshopper.com/move-or-copy-an-ssl-certificate-from-a-windows-server-to-another-windows-server.html
Our project(web application C# ASP.NET MVC3) is hosted on IIS 7.5 and we use certificate authentication. So we have SSL-require configured IIS.
Now we have a business task to allow some users to use our system. And there is no way to provide client certificates for them. In that case we need to use some additional authentication model (user-password or ntdomain based).
I don't know how to realize such model:
User gets on our project url;
If he has valid client certificate - we let him iteract with our application;
If he hasn't cert we show him a login form with "user-password";
If we use SSL-required configured IIS users would not be able to iteract with application without valid certificate at all right? And how to authenticate with certificate if IIS is configured with SSL-Accept?
Maybe you can configure two sites on your IIS? One with SSL and another without it? Your url will point to the SSL enabled site, and when a user without a valid certificate arrives you use some backup code to send him to the SSL free site?
Just guessing actually... I think this probably deserves a more meditated answer...
The problem was not so large as i thought before. IIS provides a check box to require certificate even if combobox(in SSL options of web application) is set to Accept instead of require. In that case IIS tries to get certificate at first. And if there is no cert it lets the user to iteract with application. And we can make custom authentication on that level.
With MVC (v.3+) there is nice way to use IAuthorizationFilter in that case
I have doubt in Windows 7 Phone Application Development.
I need to acess the web service using HttpWebRequest in SSL How can I configure HttpWebRequest as for SSL and allow if Certificate is InValid..
For Example:
I need to Acess API "www.example.com?value=stringVale" and I will get a response as XML and I need to Process It.
when I Give a URI as "https://www.example.com/mainPage.php?Value=stringVale" I get an Breaking Issue.
so How can I access webservice using HttpRequest with SSL Layer.. with InValid Certificate?
Thanks

You need to have a certificate issued by an authority that is recognised by the platform.
This is the latest list I've seen (posted by Shaun Taulbee) in this thread.
push notifications from authenticated services
You can get a 30 day trial cert that's handy for testing from GeoTrust.
The Problem:
I am creating a vb6 application that will connect to a particular web service located on a a HTTPS site. The problem is, the HTTPS site I'm accessing requires all request to accept it's certificate policy. (as its a self-signed ssl certificate)
Basically I need the application to accept security certificate dialog boxes automatically. A sample security dialog is shown below:
Cheers in advance.
#EDIT:
I Cant' post an image yet as i am a new user... Please see the url below for a sample image:

Look for a property named Silent.
You will have to catch some other event, to reply to that dialog box. Although, I am not sure what is the behavior, if you set the Silent to true (i.e does it assume it to be Yes or otherwise?).
Most of HTTPS sites I know use self-signed certificates.
I don't know VB6 APIs for HTTPS, but for example in Java you should provide it a copy of the site certificate beforehand. That is:
export a copy of the certificate, for example from your browser certificate repository (in Firefox: Tools->Options->Advanced->Encryption->View Certificates etc.) - supposing you have have already visited the site with your browser;
detect which certificate repository your HTTPS API points to (there certainly is one)
import certificate into that repository
execute your program
