I have created my own certificate to run with the WebServer example and it does not work. The WebServer does not with the pfx supplied in samples. The following is my stack trace, any help would be greatly appreciated:

This test class implements a small HTTP server that supports HTTP and HTTPS. It
always returns the same static page.

Please enter the IP address of the network adapter to listen on [use 0.0.0.0 to
listen on all installed network adapters]:
3.18.148.3
Please enter the port to listen on [or 0 to automatically select one]:
8082
Please enter the security protocol you wish to use for incoming connections:
[1] None
[2] SSL3
[3] TLS1
[4] SSL3 and TLS1

How do you want to load the certificate?
1 = from certificate store
2 = from PFX/P12 file
3 = from .cer file
2
Enter the full path of the certificate file:
c:\ssl\cert\fcapi.pfx
Enter the password of the PFX/P12 file:
whiskey
Using the following certificate:

Sorry for the duplicate post, I actually did not see the reply link.

I figured out the problem. I am using makecert to create the certificate and I used the -sky default which specifies the type of key (signature or exchange) and it must be signature. When I explicitly stated exchange my certificate worked. I would nice if some how an error message could indicate this error. Also does the framework support any tracing or logging?

Hello Tim,

I am attempting the same thing you did, and have run into similar problems. I created a self-signed server certificate and get the following error message:

Error while receiving data from client [An error occurs while communicating with
the remote host.
Org.Mentalis.Security.Ssl.Shared.SslException: An error occurred during the decr
yption and verification process.

Did you find a resolution to your problem? any help is appreciated.

regards,
