https certificate ssl has an issue

When I browse to this I get a message saying that there is a problem with the certificate. Is there anyway to avoid having this happen during my testing without having to tweak ie settings?

I am securing a web service that I will be calling from silverlight.

Will this cause me any issues with silverlight calling?

Edit: The remote certificate is invalid according to the validation procedure.

and also

The security certificate presented by this website was not issued by a trusted certificate authority.

I had to install a certificate on the client machine as well to create trust.

You can ignore the SSL certificate validity for your tests.

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

This will globally disable ssl checks. you should add some code around it to make sure it's only skipped for tests.
