HTTPS callouts

I have a couple of issues;

1. SFDC claims that setClientCertificate is deprecated, and to use setClientCertificateName instead, so where exactly am I supposed to upload or install the Server Certificate generated for my secure server?  I was surprised that I could not upload a cert of a CA when I added my secure servers URL to the remote sites section.  Furthermore following the "please use setClientCertificateName" links it points me to a section that shows me how to generate certs on SFDC.

 Thats not going to happen for the following reasons;

a. I don't require two way ssl

b. I am making callouts.

 

 

2. For development, we do our own signing.  i.e. I am my own CA and I generate a bunch of server certs signed by this CA.  So how do I get SFDC to trust my dev CA.  I am hardly going to go to verisign to get certs signed for development servers on my end, nor am I going to allow anyone to call into my servers without SSL.  

 

 

So in short;

I need SFDC APEX calls to behave like a browser would, where RESTful calls to HTTPS just work, if you install the CA that signed those certs.  It should be as simple as that, and I can't believe I am the only one that has run into this issue.

 

Anyone have some guidance

 

Thanks

Hi,

 

did you happen to book some results on these issues? I'm struggling with the same.. My WebService provider is providing me with certificates that I can't upload into SF because they're not CA-signed.

 

Thanks,

Guy
