"message": "The SSL connection could not be established, see inner exception." in Windows Server 2012 R2

Question

I integrate 3rd party API in my API. That time got error. Maybe this is SSL connection issue.

and API code is

using (var SB_helper = new SBHelpers(Connection))
            {
                using (var httpClientHandler = new HttpClientHandler())
                {
                    httpClientHandler.ServerCertificateCustomValidationCallback = HttpClientHandler.DangerousAcceptAnyServerCertificateValidator;
                    httpClientHandler.ServerCertificateCustomValidationCallback = (message, cert, chain, errors) => { return true; };
                    ServicePointManager.SecurityProtocol = (SecurityProtocolType)768 | (SecurityProtocolType)3072;
                    //send request
                    using (var httpClient = new HttpClient(httpClientHandler))
                    {
                        string bodyParameter = $"cert={SBConst.Cert}&agentId={SBConst.AgentId}&userId={SBConst.UserNamePrefix + request.UserId}&currency={request.Currency}&betLimit={request.BetLimit}&language={request.Language}";
                        var content = new StringContent(bodyParameter, Encoding.UTF8, "application/x-www-form-urlencoded");
                        HttpResponseMessage response = await client.PostAsync($"{SBConst.APIURL}{SBConst.Method.CreateMember}", content);
                        var responseString = await response.Content.ReadAsStringAsync();
                        dynamic responseOk = JsonConvert.DeserializeObject(responseString);
                        return response;
                    }
                }
            }

This error got on live server. But on localhost and windows 10 that is working fine.

Anyone have an idea on how to solve this?

On which framework version are you? I would expect you can set the SecurityProtocol without that hack. — rene, Mar 13 '20 at 08:43
'The message received was unexpected or badly formatted' can you shiff auth request/response with WireShark or Fiddler? — Krivitskiy Grigoriy, Mar 13 '20 at 08:45
I suspect there is something wrong with the certificates, either the certs on the server you deployed to or with the certs you receive once deplloyed. Maybe ignoring what is thrown at you in the ServerCertificateCustomValidationCallback event isn't the best approach to diagnose this. Log the errors that are in that errors parameter and/or the certs that are offered. One of those questions might help: https://stackoverflow.com/search?q=%22The+message+received+was+unexpected+or+badly+formatted%22+is%3Aq&mixed=0 — rene, Mar 13 '20 at 08:52
yes @KrivitskiyGrigoriy, I used that. Same as Postman output shown there. — Akash Limbani, Mar 13 '20 at 09:10
Were you able to solve this issue, we are facing the same issue — Nayana Setty, May 19 '20 at 07:04
