.NET Console connect to STS over SSL?

[Jennifer]

Hi, I am trying to write a sample console app which
enumerates the lists for a sharepoint team services site.
The site does not allow anonymous and uses windows
integrated security.

My code works fine over "http" but as soon as I try to
address the "https" SSL site, then the initial
SPSite.RootWeb call fails.

By the way, I am using host headers and in the Sharepoint
admin tool the SSL site displays using the machine name
rather than the host header -- don't know if that is a
problem because use of the site is not impacted. There is
only one SSL site on the server. Also, to my knowledge,
the IIS is not running in IIS5 compat mode.

Can someone please help me understand what I need to do
to avoid the following error?

Unhandled Exception: Microsoft.Share Point.SPExcepti on:
The server instance specified was not found. Please
specify the server's address and port.

Here is my code:
[STAThread]
static void Main(string[] args)
{
SPSite siteCollection = new SPSite
(ConfigurationS ettings.AppSett ings["url"]);
SPWeb site = siteCollection. RootWeb;

SPList list = site.Lists["Contacts"];
Console.WriteLi ne("List: " + list.Title);

foreach (SPListItem item in list.Items)
{
Console.WriteLi ne(item["Title"]);
}

Console.WriteLi ne("Press ENTER to continue");
Console.ReadLin e();
}

Hello Jennifer,
I am investigating this case and had sent you an email earlier I am not
sure if you received that.
I had a couple questions for you regarding your environment.
1. Is this application running on the server itself?
2. Can you describe in a little detail how your ssl set up is and the steps
you take then you say you run it over SSL.

This will help me recreate the problem here and debug it.
One thing to try will be to get a netmon trace while running your
application and see what user you are running your application as in the
SSL environment and if the right user is getting passed across.

Let me know if you have any further questions regarding this at any time.
Thanks
