I am trying to generate client code for an OData v4 service using Visual Studio. My service is running on a server that doesn't have a DNS name, and is using a self-signed certificate for HTTPS. My service is not avaiable over HTTP.
When I run the OData Client Code Generator T4 template, I get the SSL Error at the bottom of this post. When I attempt to add the service via the 'Add Connected Service' context menu, I get an error saying it could not connect.
I believe VS is not connecting to my service because the SSL Certificate doesn't match the domain name of the URL, since the server is being accessed via IP Address instead of by domain name. If this were a client program, I could write my own certificate validation routine, overriding the existing policy. Since this code is running in Visual Studio, however, I do not have access to the runtime (I think).
Surely I am not the first person to come up against this. How do you generate an OData Client when your service is only available via IP Address?
Detailed error:

Error Running transformation: System.Net.WebException: The underlying connection was closed: Could not establish trust relationship for the SSL/TLS secure channel. ---> System.Security.Authentication.AuthenticationException: The remote certificate is invalid according to the validation procedure.
