Indexing a site requiring authentication + self-signed cert - SearchUnit - Forum

I'd like to test this against my site, but (a) the site requires authentication, and (b) my development site uses a self-signed certificate. How can I make this work? The indexer currently gives the following error:
"The underlying connection was closed: Could not establish trust relationship for the SSL/TLS secure channel."

Is it possible to validate the certificate in the configuration, or do I need to look into programmatic indexing?

Is it possible to provide login credentials for the indexer?

In addition to what I wrote before, it looks like we can add a config setting to ignore certificate issues and index anyway.

We'll add that to the next version, but for now you can workaround it by calling this code from a plug-in.

ServicePointManager.ServerCertificateValidationCallback = ((sender, certificate, chain, sslPolicyErrors) => true);

(That's a static member).

To create a plugin, it's easiest to do it from the Index Manager tool's plugin page (it will create a template project for you)
