First, I'm making the assumption that you've read, re-read, and followed the SSL tutorial on rabbitmq's website .  If you haven't done everything that it's instructed you to do (including adding your certificates to the Windows Certificate Store using certmgr), none of this code is going to work for you.  If you have, this code should "Just Work™". Here's the complete code file that works for me.  You will (obviously) need to change the names of the servers, and the thumbprint of your certificate. Note that this code only uses your client and server's certificates to establish a secure connection.  You are still logging in as guest.  I will show you how to use your client certificate to authenticate yourself below. using System; using System.Linq; using System.Security.Cryptography.X509Certificates; using System.Text; using RabbitMQ.Client; using RabbitMQ.Util; namespace RabbitSslTest {     class Program     {   ...

I was having a problem where some internal server names would become unresolvable after being resolvable.  After becoming tired of flushing the dns resolver cache, I finally opened wireshark to see what was going on. To my surprise, windows was using my secondary DNS (8.8.8.8) instead of my primary, internal DNS!  After some searching, I finally found this knowledge base article . This behavior occurs because the Windows XP DNS Client service (Dnscache) follows a certain algorithm when it decides the order in which it uses the DNS servers configured in the TCP/IP properties. If the DNS server list is reprioritized, the Windows XP DNS Client service resets the server priority at periodic intervals. By default, the server priorities are reset every 15 minutes.  Luckily, the workaround in that same article fixes the issues I was having. To work around this behavior, modify the registry so that the DNS server that is configured first is tri...
