My VSTO could not work with SSL, Why?

We are working on a project which uses VSTO. We have to create a customized toolbar on the word document which facilitates user to upload the document on web share which is configured on SSL. We do not have to save the file on user’s local machine.

Everything works fine if this web share is not configured to run on SSL. But the problem comes when the Web share is configured for SSL. Then the document throws the following exception when it tries to access the assembly located on the web share…

“Security problem encountered when connecting to URL for 'BasicTemplate, Version=1.0.0.0, Culture=neutral'.”

Could you please look into this and see if we are missing something…

Any help would be of great use.

Thanks!

    This is not really a VSTO solution but is related to the how Office interacts with a Web server via SSL. Here is a KB that speaks directly to your issue:

    You cannot connect to Windows SharePoint Services in Office 2003

    (http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx scid=kb;en-us;826888)

    It contains some discussion of SSL and how to enable this properly. If this is not exactly what you need, I urge you to post your question to a forum or ng that is more suited to your question. Here is a link to get you in the right direction:
