Remarks

The SslPolicyManager class provides a way to globally configure the SSL policy for all System.Net applications.

By default, .NET applications will reject any SSL certificate that is not trusted by the operating system's certificate store or that has expired. This is a security best practice.

You can customize this behavior by implementing an ICertificatePolicy interface and assigning it to the SslPolicyManager.CertificatePolicy property.

Note: Modifying the SSL policy can have security implications. Ensure you understand the risks before making changes.
