Hello- I have been through Google Groups and all over the web reading up on SSL and web services, and so far I think I am becoming an expert! So here's the problem-
I can connect to the web service and execute from a cosole application, and not from my web application - i receive the familiar "The underlying connection was closed: Could not establish secure channel for SSL/TLS" when i try to run this service.

I made my own ICertificatePolicy class, and am using that to ignore the warnings; that didn't do it.
I put the valid certificate in my web root, and referenced it in the code; that didn't do it
I checked my proxy connections, dropped my firewall, made sure the service was running, proxied the WSDL files on my local machine, and that didn't do it.

I can't post all of the code here for NDA reasons, but my major question is this: How is it that i can run the exact same code from a console app and have it work, and not have it work using a web app?

The only difference that i can see is that the web app process is using the ASPNET account, and not my local account, to execute the web service. I can't see how that would be an issue, but if it is, can one of you genius types offer a solution?

Thanks so much,
Rob
