Disclaimer: I'm an Air newbie (about 20 minutes in to this experiment).

I have a demo application using Adobe Air that accesses my own SSL web service that uses a self-signed certificate. In .NET clients, I can explicitly handle (and ignore) certificate warnings and suppress them via the ServicePointManager.ServerCertificateValidationCallback. Does anything similar exist in Air? I've examined the URLRequest and URLLoader classes but haven't found anything.

If you are using Windows XP install the untrusted or unknown certificate in your Trusted Root Certificate Authorities. You can install the certificate from Internet Explorer while accessing your site. There is a registered bug On Vista and Windows 7. The bug is not resolved yet.

So only solution (without changing server behaviour) is to add your self-signed certificate to system's Trusted Root.

There is additional info about Secure client sockets in AIR and SecureSocket class.
