Re: certificate based web call fails under iis (urgent!)

I think this may be failing under IIS because the certificate is not
valid.

*I already know the certificate is not valid and still want to use
it ! *

I think it's not valid because it is not signed by a CA such as
Verisign.

if I work directly with the Certificate Store like this:

X509Store store = new X509Store(StoreName.Root,
StoreLocation.LocalMachine);
store.Open(OpenFlags.ReadOnly);
X509Certificate2Collection col =
store.Certificates.Find(X509FindType.FindByIssuerName, "SAVVIS",true);

I can use that last parameter in "Find" to return only valid Certs -
hence indicating that the cert is not valid (there's surely a better
way).

I think it's perfectly reasonable to use an invalid cert in this way -
anyone got any comments on that - or suggestions on where to go from
here?
