The underlying connection was closed

[Alvalvar]

I try to use RestPS module and could not connect to rest server with error: Invoke-RestMethod : The underlying connection was closed: Could not establish trust relationship for the SSL/TLS secure channel

If i use: [System.Net.ServicePointManager]::ServerCertificateValidationCallback = {$true} receive error: Invoke-RestMethod : The underlying connection was closed: An unexpected error occurred on a send

Server and client on the same host.

Server part: =========================================

$ServerCert = Get-ChildItem -Path Cert:\LocalMachine\My\ | Where-Object { $_.Subject -eq 'CN=Server.PowerShellDemo.io'}
$ServerParams = @{
    RoutesFilePath = 'C:\RestPS\endpoints\RestPSRoutes.json'
    Port = 8182
    AppGuid = "d1495a62-411b-43e3-978f-eef3e710170d"
	SSLThumbprint = $ServerCert.Thumbprint
    VerificationType = 'VerifyRootCA'
}
Start-RestPSListener @ServerParams

Client part: ==========================================

[System.Net.ServicePointManager]::ServerCertificateValidationCallback = {$true}
[System.Net.ServicePointManager]::SecurityProtocol = [System.Net.SecurityProtocolType]::Tls12 -bor [System.Net.SecurityProtocolType]::Tls11 -bor [System.Net.SecurityProtocolType]::Tls
$ClientCert = Get-ChildItem -Path Cert:\LocalMachine\My\ | Where-Object { $_.Subject -eq 'CN=DemoClient.PowerShellDemo.io'}
$HttpsParams = @{
  Uri = 'https://localhost:8182/process?name=powershell'
  Method = 'Get'
  Certificate = $ClientCert
  UseBasicParsing = $true
}
Invoke-RestMethod @HttpsParams

On the client run the following function (included with RestPS: Disable-SSLValidation

Tried it, it didn't work. Same error.

I try it on WinSrv2016 and two different Win10 Same result

Which directions are you following? I don't have a place to test right now. But I can probably do it later. I just want to be sure I am following the same directions.

Hi! Any luck trying to reproduce the error?

[jpsider]

I have not had time to sit and go through the example yet.

[Alvalvar]

Good day! Had a time to look at the cause of the errors?

[jpsider]

I'm sorry, not yet. Got caught up at work and then found myself on vacation!

I will get to it very soon.

Alright, I was able to follow the instructions here to create a local hierarchy for certificates. (https://invoke-automation.blog/2018/09/16/creating-a-local-ssl-certificate-hierarchy-with-windows-powershell/) Then follow the instructions here to start and execute the Rest commands. (https://github.com/jpsider/RestPS)

In my Server window - this is the exact history install-module jpsider,restps Update-ConsoleTitle server-window $rootCAparams = @{ DnsName = 'PowerShellDemo.io Root Cert' KeyLength = 2048 KeyAlgorithm = 'RSA' HashAlgorithm = 'SHA256' KeyExportPolicy = 'Exportable' NotAfter = (Get-Date).AddYears(5) CertStoreLocation = 'Cert:\LocalMachine\My' KeyUsage = 'CertSign','CRLSign' #fixes invalid certificate error } $rootCA = New-SelfSignedCertificate @rootCAparams $rootCA $CertStore = New-Object -TypeName System.Security.Cryptography.X509Certificates.X509Store( [System.Security.Cryptography.X509Certificates.StoreName]::Root, 'LocalMachine') $CertStore.open('MaxAllowed') $CertStore.add($rootCA) $CertStore.close() $params = @{ DnsName = 'Server.PowerShellDemo.io' Signer = $rootCA # <------ Notice the Signer is the newly created RootCA KeyLength = 2048 KeyAlgorithm = 'RSA' HashAlgorithm = 'SHA256' KeyExportPolicy = 'Exportable' NotAfter = (Get-Date).AddYears(2) CertStoreLocation = 'Cert:\LocalMachine\My' }

For the client this is the exact history

` Update-ConsoleTitle client-window Get-ChildItem -Path Cert:\LocalMachine\My
$ClientCert = Get-ChildItem -Path Cert:\LocalMachine\My\ | Where-Object { $_.Subject -eq 'CN=Democlient.PowerShellDemo.io'}
