API SSL connection Issue - Could not create secure SSL/TLS channel

[Nandhakumar]

Hi,

I'm currently working with an API which is 3rd party and we have credentials and setup done from the bot to make request. I have tried a test request to api and get the response back via SOAPUI.

But when i tried the same via blueprism, getting the below error. Can anyone help if you have faced the same?

I have created an API under System>Objects>Web API Services. This api needs certificates to be loaded with key to create a 2way SSL connection with API.

Now the api source has given a C# code to create a 2 way SSL connection via code stage as below, tried the same in code stage, by passing the parameters required.

using System.Net;

using System.Security.Cryptography.X509Certificates;

HttpWebRequest request = WebRequest.Create (requestURL) as HttpWebRequest;

// Add headers

string authString = userId + ":" + password;

var authStringBytes = System.Text.Encoding.UTF8.GetBytes (authString);

string authHeaderString = Convert.ToBase64String (authStringBytes);

request.Headers ["Authorization"] = "Basic " + authHeaderString;

// Add certificate

var certificate = new X509Certificate2(p12certificatePath, p12certificatePassword);

request.ClientCertificates.Add(certificate);

**Highlighted in bold are input parameters being passed to this stage.

Once this stage is executed, i'm trying to call a method that i have setup in blueprism but getting the below error.

I have loaded the same certificate file and key into SSL settings under preferences in SOAPUI and it worked. but via blue prism facing this issue.

Please guide me.

Have you tried making the request in Postman?  I just had this problem awhile ago, I ended up writing the response into a text file and uploading into Excel. Also I generated the token separately then did a http request through the Utility - HTTP.

Hi All,

Update:

Yes, it does work via Postman/SoapUI without any issues. But the web service i have setup in Blueprism system tab, gives the error of unable to create secure channel.

Utility - HTTP is working and i'm able to make transactions to API. So created the solution with HTTP utility.
