I'm creating a webservice ( in .NET 3.5) to obtain SSL certificate information of a remote server based on the domain name and i have a client which is a console application to call the service. presently for me there are 11 domain names. i am able to obtain the SSL information for all server except one.
my code is:
using (TcpClient client =newTcpClient()){
client.Connect(strDNSEntry,443);SslStream ssl =newSslStream(client.GetStream(),false);try{
ssl.AuthenticateAsClient(strDNSEntry);//Error thrown here}catch(AuthenticationException e){
log.Debug(e.Message);
ssl.Close();
client.Close();return cert;}catch(Exception e){
log.Debug(e.Message);
ssl.Close();
client.Close();return cert;}
cert =new X509Certificate2(ssl.RemoteCertificate);
ssl.Close();
client.Close();return cert;}
the error is
"[System.IO.IOException] = {"Authentication failed because the remote party has closed the transport stream."}".
When I examined during debugging at SSLStream I found the error as "
This operation is only allowed using a successfully authenticated context".
Is that because I don't have enough credentials is it throwing the error or any issues with the service? Also I tried to do Remote desktop conncetion to that server, I'm unable to coonect.
