working with certificates for server connection

Question

im trying to transfer code from console app to uwp, in this console app used ServicePointManager that use all certificates, in uwp app i don`t use them and have exception with text - "A connection with the server could not be established".

The question is - how can i replace ServicePointManager and apply all certifates in uwp(because i don`t know what type of certificate used for this server).

Code of ServicePointManager is listed below:

ServicePointManager.ServerCertificateValidationCallback += new System.Net.Security.RemoteCertificateValidationCallback
(bypassAllCertificateStuff); 

private static bool bypassAllCertificateStuff(object sender, X509Certificate cert, X509Chain chain, System.Net.Security.SslPolicyErrors error)
{
  return true;
}

Thanks for reply!

I think you are trying to use HttpClient, and if this is from the Windows.Web.Http namespace, you can add a filter to it, where some kind of certificate errors can be bypassed. Eg.:

using Windows.Web.Http;
using Windows.Web.Http.Filters;

var filter = new HttpBaseProtocolFilter();
filter.IgnorableServerCertificateErrors.Add(ChainValidationResult.Untrusted);
var httpClient = new HttpClient(filter);
