I am trying to make an SSL connection with the HTTP WebRequest object
using client certificates. It works just fine when I run the app from a console
or gui type environment. It fails when I call it through asp.net though. My
guess is that maybe it cant access the private key for the client cert but
I have taken steps to try to cure that.
The certificate exists in the LOCAL_MACHINE store.
I used the WinHTTPCertConfig tool to make sure IWAM, IUSR, and ASPNET accounts
have access to the private key. I even put in the code to spit out the identity
of the user running the assembly and that user has rights to the private key
of the cert.
The error i get is Unable to establish and SSL/TLS session.
Any ideas on this one? Any help is appreciated. Here is a code snippet of how
I am using the client cert.
HttpWebRequest request = (HttpWebRequest)WebRequest.Create(url);
// Load Certificate from File
X509Certificate cert = X509Certificate.CreateFromCertFile(ClientCertificateFile);
// Set Client Certificate for SSL Authentication if Requested
request.ClientCertificates.Add(cert);
The error message is unable to establish an SSL/TLS connection.
thanks for any help you can offer.
