Subject: ValidateCertificate method doesn't validate certificates
Hi,
ClientSocket.cs method ValidateCertificate doesn't actually validate any client certificate, but proceeds with FireOnValidateCertificate.
the comment says: "Validate the SSL certificate here
for now we dont stop the SSL connection an return always true".
Best Regards,
Tomek

thats correct and how its supposed to work. You should validate the certificate and decide whether to proceed with the connection or not. We were very strict with this in earlier versions of the SDK where we denied invalid certificates by default. We changed this because many certificates on the XMPP network are untrusted or self signed which caused us many support because users were not able to connect with the libraries.
