Remarks Certificate Authenticity Verification
When negotiating an SSL/TLS connection, the server sends a certificate indicating its identity. By default, the certificate must be verified as trustworthy, or the connection fails. In this context, trustworthiness derives from a chain of digital signatures, rooted in a certification authority. When authenticity verification is disabled, the connection succeeds regardless of the certificate's trustworthiness.
When enabled, the BlackBerry Dynamics Runtime checks certificate trustworthiness using operating system services.
This function must be called before connecting to remote host.
Disabling authenticity verification implicitly disables host name verification.
