gSOAP and OpenSSL on iPhone

Question

this is my first post on stackoverflow. Hopefully I am not disturbing anybody... :)
I've been working with gSOAP connecting to a http-webservice for my iPhone App for a while now. Now I am trying to swith to a https-webservice. I included openssl within the project and added the compileflat -DWITH_OPENSSL. Build&Run is working but unfortunatly openssl won't let me verify the webservers certificate.
Turning DEBUG-MODE on, I found that there is an issue with the webservers certificate:

SSL verify error or warning with certificate at depth 1: unable to get local issuer certificate certificate issuer /C=US/O=VeriSign, Inc./OU=Class 3 Public Primary Certification Authority certificate subject /O=VeriSign Trust Network/OU=VeriSign, Inc./OU=VeriSign International Server CA - Class 3/OU=www.verisign.com/CPS Incorp.by Ref. LIABILITY LTD.(c)97 VeriSign

Checking with SSL Shoppers SSL Checker results in:

The certificate should be trusted by all major web browsers (all the correct intermediate certificates are installed).

Any ideas on how to solve that issue?

well, sometimes RTFM really helps :)

Section 19.20 (Secure SOAP Clients with HTTPS/SSL) reads: "To disable server authentication for testing purposes, use the following:"

if (soap_ssl_client_context(&soap,
   SOAP_SSL_NO_AUTHENTICATION,
   NULL,
   NULL,
   NULL,
   NULL,
   NULL
   ))
{
   soap_print_fault(&soap, stderr);
   exit(1);
}

Unfortunatly, -DSOAP_DEBUG option still reads "SSL verify error or warning with certificate at depth 1: unable to get local issuer certificate". Anyway, it is working now.
