Unable to call web service - The request was aborted: Could not create SSL/TLS secure channel.

[AmandeepMalhotr]

Hi,

I'm facing an issue where when I call a web service through WebClient I get an error "The request was aborted: Could not create SSL/TLS secure channel." . The code throws the same error even after enabling all protocol versions.

Here's my code:

resultData="";

try
{

ServicePointManager.SecurityProtocol = SecurityProtocolType.Tls
	| SecurityProtocolType.Tls11
	| SecurityProtocolType.Tls12
	| SecurityProtocolType.Ssl3;
ServicePointManager.ServerCertificateValidationCallback = new        
RemoteCertificateValidationCallback
(
   delegate { return true; }
);
WebClient client = new WebClient();
client.UseDefaultCredentials = true;
String htmlCode = client.DownloadString(addressURL);
resultData = htmlCode;


	Success=true;
	Message="";

}
catch(Exception e)
{
	Success=false;
	Message=e.GetBaseException().Message;
}

I also tried removing ServerCertificateValidationCallback, still no luck.

Protocol version being used by server: TLS 1.2, AES with 256 bit encryption (High); DH with 1024 bit exchange (looked up in IE)

Also, the same code works on a VDI, however this doesn't work in a VSI.

Any idea what might help??

Harish, Thanks for the answer, however none of the links address the problem I'm having.

My problem in this case is that I can't make the mTLS connection.

I'm using the object Utility - HTTP available in the latest version and it doesn't have a step to make the TLS connection.
I even found some forums suggesting including the excerpt:

ServicePointManager.SecurityProtocol = SecurityProtocolType.Tls12

but that didn't work either.
