I am working on an application that uses SQL Server Compact 4. Now that the database is integrated, when the application makes the first connection to it, the application sends out requests to crl.microsoft.com/pki/crl/products/microsoftrootcert.crl and various other urls (ctldl.windowsupdate.com for example). The network that this application will be installed on has restricted what can go in and out and this causes the application to hang for a minimum of 60 seconds.
I've added this in app.config
<runtime><generatePublisherEvidence enabled="false"/></runtime>
however the requests go out regardless. I've also tried removing any code signing for our exe's. I notice on http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/vstudio/bb629393(v=vs.100).aspx, the statement: In the .NET Framework version 4 and later, this element has no effect on assembly load times. For more information, see the "Security Policy Simplification" section in Security Changes in the .NET Framework 4.
This only happens when the connection is made to the database.
What do I need to do to disable these crl and ctldl requests?
