I need svcutil.exe to generate a proxy class for me, but the problem is that the web service can be accessed only via HTTPS and the SSL certificate is self signed.

How can I force svcutil.exe to ignore this issue?

One thing that seemed to work was to fire up Fiddler and have it running as you make the SVCUTIL requests. Fiddler's cert is valid and seems to work fine.
