Mono https webrequest fails with “The authentication or decryption has failed”

by

I had the same problem with Unity (which also uses mono) and this post helped me to solve it.

Just add the following line before making your request:

ServicePointManager.ServerCertificateValidationCallback = MyRemoteCertificateValidationCallback;

And this method:

public bool MyRemoteCertificateValidationCallback(System.Object sender,
    X509Certificate certificate, X509Chain chain, SslPolicyErrors sslPolicyErrors)
{
    bool isOk = true;
    // If there are errors in the certificate chain,
    // look at each error to determine the cause.
    if (sslPolicyErrors != SslPolicyErrors.None) {
        for (int i=0; i<chain.ChainStatus.Length; i++) {
            if (chain.ChainStatus[i].Status == X509ChainStatusFlags.RevocationStatusUnknown) {
                continue;
            }
            chain.ChainPolicy.RevocationFlag = X509RevocationFlag.EntireChain;
            chain.ChainPolicy.RevocationMode = X509RevocationMode.Online;
            chain.ChainPolicy.UrlRetrievalTimeout = new TimeSpan (0, 1, 0);
            chain.ChainPolicy.VerificationFlags = X509VerificationFlags.AllFlags;
            bool chainIsValid = chain.Build ((X509Certificate2)certificate);
            if (!chainIsValid) {
                isOk = false;
                break;
            }
        }
    }
    return isOk;
}
