Calling a web service through a reverse proxy

Comments (3) | Share

I had a w/s that when I first read the WSDL in test, was http, but needed to be accessed from behind a reverse proxy with https.  Here are the steps:

1. Change the app.config, <httpTransport> to <httpsTransport>
2. Change the app.config and the url address in the <endpoint>to the reverse proxy address
3. Add System.Net.ServicePointManager.ServerCertificateValidationCallback = delegate { return true; };  to disable certificate validation.  This will validate all certificates (including invalid, expired or self-signed ones).
