I am using a URL to connect with a web service using SOAP. Apparently the URL does not have a correct https protocol and if I want to access it via browser, I need to accept the 'risk' this connection has.
My problem starts when I want to access in programmatically. When I try to send a SOAP POST request, the connection is closed and an exception is caught.
"The underlying connection was closed: Could not establish trust relationship for the SSL/TLS secure channel."
Apparently this problem was common, and a lot of resources could be found, this and this being the most upvoted.
When i tried this part of code:
ServicePointManager.ServerCertificateValidationCallback += (sender, cert, chain, sslPolicyErrors) => true;
not only the connection did not work, but now I am given a:
"The remote server returned an error: (500) Internal Server Error."
Now my question is. The code above switches the protocol from https to http?
If not what does this line of code really do?
I don't know if this will be your answer, but as it is not appropriate for a comment...
Do not bypass certificate validation. You probably only need to set the correct version of TLS. You can experiment to find the highest version supported by using one at time instead of OR'ing them together.:
ServicePointManager.SecurityProtocol = SecurityProtocolType.Tls | SecurityProtocolType.Tls11 | SecurityProtocolType.Tls12
If that doesn't work you may need to obtain a certificate, either the one used by the service or one higher in the certificate chain.

I am facing an issue with consuming my locally hosted Web API from my web site. The API works perfectly via Swagger.
The exceptions I got:
"The underlying connection was closed: Could not establish trust relationship for the SSL/TLS secure channel."
"The remote certificate is invalid according to the validation procedure."
Code:
I am on Windows 10 with .Net Fx 4.8
PS: I do not want to bypass the validation using the following code:
ServicePointManager.ServerCertificateValidationCallback += (sender, cert, chain, sslPolicyErrors) => true;
I am guessing some sort of configuration change is what I need to do.
Edit 1:
Here's my Postman output:
Help Please :)
That it can be a Windows Update problem.
That update caused the problem: https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/help/4489899/windows-10-update-kb4489899
To fix it you need to do some steps:
Uninstall all chain certificates "Root Certification Authorities
Reliable" (Some certificates can't be excluded, ignore them)
Reinstall the chain certificates from here
I had the problem with some clients and that solve the problem.
I don't know if it will fix your especific problem, but I hope so.
I've got a development system which I'm trying to get to communicate to a third-party secure web service.
The third party have provided me with a certificate which I've imported locally. I've made sure the certificate is added to the 'Trusted Root Certification Authorities' store. It seems to have imported correctly, as if I go Chrome and try to access one of the service urls mentioned in the web service WSDL file I firstly get a popup asking to me to confirm which certificate to use (there's only the one option) and it then lets me through. However, if I then use the same WSDL file to create a service reference in Visual Studio, and make a call to one of the services in my code, I get an error saying 'Could not establish secure channel for SSL/TLS with authority'.
Ideally I would get VS to acknowledge the cert when I'm making the webservice call, but seeing as this is a development system I'm also happy to ignore the SSL errors for the time being.
To this end I've added the following to my code, along with variations on the protocols I'm specifying (e.g. only specifying SSL3, taking out SSL3 etc):
ServicePointManager.Expect100Continue = true;
ServicePointManager.SecurityProtocol = SecurityProtocolType.Tls
| SecurityProtocolType.Tls11
| SecurityProtocolType.Tls12
| SecurityProtocolType.Ssl3;
ServicePointManager.ServerCertificateValidationCallback = delegate { return true; };
But no matter what I do I still get the SSL error when I try to make the service call.
If anyone has any suggestions on how to get VS to accept the certificate is present (as Chrome seems to do) or, alternatively, how to get the code to ignore the SSL error for now, so I can proceed with development, it'd be much appreciated.
I am trying to call a Web API using HttpWebRequest(Console Application).
To upload the file, I am using the code snippet provided by #Cristian Romanescu ont this question Upload files with HTTPWebrequest (multipart/form-data)
If I set the req.ProtocolVersion as HttpVersion.Version10,I get Bad request when I try to do req.GetResponseStream().
If i set the req.ProtocolVersion as HttpVersion.Version11,I get Could not create SSL/TLS secure channel. when i try to do req.GetResponseStream().
If tried to post the data using POSTMAN, but even Postman says Could not get any response".
If I try to hit the URL using IE-11 I get HTTP 404.[I know i am not posting the actual file], but Chrome displays the custom/appropriate error message.
I tried the solutions already provided on stackoverflow, but unfortunately they do not solve my problem.
Thankyou.
Which solution you have tried? It's worth trying the following if you haven't already - write following before you actually invoke the service:
ServicePointManager.SecurityProtocol = SecurityProtocolType.Tls | SecurityProtocolType.Tls11 | SecurityProtocolType.Tls12;
Two things that I was doing wrong.
The Server wanted date in yyyy-MM-ddTHH:mm:ss, I was providing the date in yyyy-MM-ddTHH:mm:ss.ssss Format(DateTime.UtcNow.ToString("o")). This was the cause of Could not create SSL/TLS secure channel
The server wanted the parameters in request body as well. I had passed the parameters only as query string. This was the cause of HTTP 404
In the process, I had asked a guy outside my team to help. He had asked me to see if there were any SSL related errors. To do this he asked me to add
System.Net.ServicePointManager.ServerCertificateValidationCallback = new System.Net.Security.RemoteCertificateValidationCallback(AcceptAllCertifications); and define AcceptAllCertifications, which was not the case. So to resolve the issue, I had to take care of the things mentioned above.
Try to create self signed certificate from your server and add it to your client machine.
Create self signed certificate (Server side)
Import self signed certificate (Client side)
I had a problem trying to reach HTTPS web reference service in c# .Net project.
I got this message when i trying to send request to web service.
The underlying connection was closed: Could not establish trust
relationship for the SSL/TLS secure channel
Then i found solution check the answer.
I put this code to my web service class constructor.
ServicePointManager.ServerCertificateValidationCallback +=
(mender, certificate, chain, sslPolicyErrors) => true;
It solves the problem.
I have written a C# client to make a multipart-form data post to a server on the internet. While testing my code, I started getting exceptions as follows:
{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.
I tried accessing the web resource using my browser and realized that there is an issue with the SSL certificate of the website. The website is owned by a third part and I don't know when they will fix this problem.
Is there any way I can ignore this security exception and make some change in my code so that it keeps working?
I am using the HttpWebRequest class to perform http posts.
At the crudest level:
ServicePointManager.ServerCertificateValidationCallback = delegate
{ return true; }; // WARNING: accepts all SSL certificates
You should probably be a bit more granular though, looking at the certificate/chain a bit.
