Can it be done? I've got a small .NET app that works on my workstation as well as my development server...but then doesn't work correctly in the Rackspace Cloud. The old version of the site worked fine...so it must be something in the new lines I've added...Those lines involve telling .NET to ignore SSL errors in the request I'm about to send out...load a client cert in memory...and then send a remote web service call. But I don't know exactly where the error is happening, because I'm not actually getting an error message. My program just isn't proceeding past greying out the submit button...

update

The cloud uses medium trust right? I just set the web.config for medium trust on my workstation and my program crashes. It doesn't hang like the version I have on the cloud, but it crashes. It appears to puke at the point where I ask it to ignore SSL errors.

Update 2

So after poking around for a while....OK really it was after I started javascript debugging in my web browser, I finally came up with an error.

Sys.WebForms.PageRequestManagerServerErrorException: An unknown error occurred while processing the request on the server. The status code returned from the server was: 500

Well, that's better. So the server is throwing a 500 error while processing my AJAX request. That gets me closer! And then I learned about the event AsyncPostBackError.



Yay! I finally get a REAL error to dump.

The specified network password is not correct.

Huh? Um OK...Not sure what that means. So instead, I put a new update panel at the bottom of my page with a label in it. I put the entire code block in a try statement and made a catch that makes the panel visible and prints full details in the panel. Much better error message.

The specified network password is not correct.

MUCH better. So the line in question is:



So here's the new question. Why does this line work fine on my workstation and local dev server, but not when uploaded to the rackspace cloud?? I checked the file permissions on the cert and they are set for 755.
