I am working on writing a OMS implementation. I have verified that service is compliant with the service and schema definitions.

When trying to set up the account in Outlook 2007 to test the service, it allows me to use an https address, but not an http address.

According to the documentation (http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb277363.aspx) "The URL of the OMS Web service can be either http or https, but it is https if not otherwise specified"

I have not been able to find any doucmentation that would explain why Outlook will not even let me try to do anything in the wizard if the service url does not start with https.

The error that it returns when a http address is entered is:

The web service address is incorrect or corrupted. Check the web service address or contact your administrator

I have also tried creating a temporary cert on my local machine to test the service, but outlook is rejecting the cert because it is not valid.

Is there any way to test the service or run it over http?
