Ignoring certificate on HttpWebRequest call

Posted on by Community Member

I'm trying to make a call to a RESTful API from within AX code. The site I'm trying to reach has an invalid certificate that I would like to bypass. Is it possible to bypass the certificate validation. There is a method that looks as though it should do what I want, but I can't figure out how to use it in X++.

HttpWebRequest.set_ServerCertificateValidationCallback(RemoteCertificateValidationCallback value)

It's the parameter for this method that I don't understand. RemoteCertificateValidationCallback is not an AX object that I can find. I'm not sure how to set that value. Does anyone know how this works or have a code sample? Or is there another option for bypassing a certificate validation on an API call?

It is a common scenario where some of the application functionalities depend on an external HTTPS endpoint. However, renewal of such SSL certificate for the external party is out of control and need to rely on the third party certificate which need to be renewed on time. There is a way to overcome this for DEV/UAT environments. Please click on the below link for more details.
