Re: The request was aborted: Could not create SSL/...

Hi I am using c# sample code and getting error my code

string requestURL = ConfigurationManager.AppSettings["visaUrl"] + path;
string userId = ConfigurationManager.AppSettings["userId"];
string password = ConfigurationManager.AppSettings["password"];
string certificatePath = ConfigurationManager.AppSettings["cert"];
string certificatePassword = ConfigurationManager.AppSettings["certPassword"];
string statusCode = "";

ServicePointManager.Expect100Continue = true;
ServicePointManager.SecurityProtocol = SecurityProtocolType.Tls
| SecurityProtocolType.Tls11
| SecurityProtocolType.Tls12
| SecurityProtocolType.Ssl3 | (SecurityProtocolType)3072;

// Create the POST request object
HttpWebRequest request = WebRequest.Create(requestURL) as HttpWebRequest;
request.Method = method;

if (headers != null)
{
foreach (KeyValuePair<string, string> header in headers)
{
request.Headers[header.Key] = header.Value;
}
}

// Add headers
request.Headers["Authorization"] = GetBasicAuthHeader(userId, password);
request.Headers["ex-correlation-id"] = GetCorrelationId();
// Add certificate
var certificate = new X509Certificate2(certificatePath, certificatePassword);
request.ClientCertificates.Add(certificate);

string json = string.Empty;
if (request.Method == "POST")
{
var data = Encoding.ASCII.GetBytes(requestBodyString);
request.ContentType = "application/json";
request.Accept = "application/json";

using (var stream = request.GetRequestStream())
{
stream.Write(data, 0, data.Length);
}
}
try
{
using (HttpWebResponse response = (HttpWebResponse)request.GetResponse())
using (Stream stream = response.GetResponseStream())
using (StreamReader reader = new StreamReader(stream))
{
json = reader.ReadToEnd();
}
}
catch (System.Net.WebException webEx)
{

StreamReader sr = new StreamReader(webEx.Response.GetResponseStream());
string str = sr.ReadToEnd();

if (webEx.Status == WebExceptionStatus.ProtocolError)
{
int code = (int)((HttpWebResponse)webEx.Response).StatusCode;
if (code == 501)
{
var resp = new StreamReader(webEx.Response.GetResponseStream()).ReadToEnd();
return resp;
}
}
return webEx.Message;
}
catch (Exception ex)
{

return ex.Message;
}
return statusCode;

Error comes at

using (HttpWebResponse response = (HttpWebResponse)request.GetResponse())

When i comment
//var certificate = new X509Certificate2(certificatePath, certificatePassword);
//request.ClientCertificates.Add(certificate);
then its give me error

Hey @granular-smart - I''m very sorry about this long wait. I have escalated this and our engineering team is on it. I personally am working to get you some additional sample code soon. Please let me know if there is anything else I can help with you in the meantime.

Hi granular-smart,

Can you log (Console.WriteLine) the response headers as well?

Refer example here - https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/api/system.net.httpwebresponse.headers?view=netcore-3.1

Once you log the response headers you should see a header with the name 'X-CORRELATION-ID'. If you do can you please share that header value?

Regarding the XML response in Postman - can you pass the 'Accept' header as 'application/json'.

Passing that header should return a JSON response instead of XML.

Hi @granular-smart ,

For C# you need to generate a .p12 file (PKCS12 keystore) using your private key and certificate.

You can generate it using the below openssl command

openssl pkcs12 -export -out keyandcertificate.p12 -inkey key.pem -in cert.pem

The following C# code works for me.

using System;
using System.IO;
using System.Net;
using System.Net.Http;
using System.Security.Cryptography.X509Certificates;
using System.Text;

public class HelloWorld {
    public static void Main (string[] args) {
        string requestURL = "https://sandbox.api.visa.com/vdp/helloworld";

        // TODO: put your userID from VDP here
        string userID = "";

        // TODO: put your password here
        string password = "";

        /**
        Using you private key (key.pem) and certificate (cert.pem) generate a p12 keystore using the below openssl command.
        openssl pkcs12 -export -out keyandcertificate.p12 -inkey key.pem -in cert.pem
        Add a password. Put the same password as the variable 'certificatePassword' below
        **/

        // TODO: put path to .p12 file here (e.g. /Users/vivek/Downloads/keyandcertificate.p12)
        string certificatePath = "";

        HttpWebRequest request = WebRequest.Create (requestURL) as HttpWebRequest;
        request.Accept = "application/json";
        request.Headers["Authorization"] = GetBasicAuthHeader (userID, password);

        var certificatePassword = "1234";
        var certificate = new X509Certificate2 (certificatePath, certificatePassword);
        request.ClientCertificates.Add (certificate);

        Console.WriteLine ("Making GET request to " + requestURL);
        HttpWebResponse httpWebResponse = (HttpWebResponse) request.GetResponse ();
        var responseBody = new StreamReader (httpWebResponse.GetResponseStream ()).ReadToEnd ();
        Console.WriteLine ("Response status: " + httpWebResponse.StatusCode);
        Console.WriteLine (responseBody);
    }

    private static string GetBasicAuthHeader (string userId, string password) {
        string authString = userId + ":" + password;
        var authStringBytes = Encoding.UTF8.GetBytes (authString);
        string authHeaderString = Convert.ToBase64String (authStringBytes);
        return "Basic " + authHeaderString;
    }
}

Please try it out and let me know if you face any issues.

Hi Vivek,
I tried with the same code as well but getting the same error,
Is there any way so I can verify my certificate is it fine or not.

vivek241

Hi @granular-smart ,

Can you print all the response headers and share the values?

Sample code below

try {
            Console.WriteLine ("Making {0} request to URL: {1}", request.Method, requestURL);
            HttpWebResponse httpWebResponse = (HttpWebResponse) request.GetResponse ();
            var responseBody = new StreamReader (httpWebResponse.GetResponseStream ()).ReadToEnd ();
            Console.WriteLine ("Response status: " + httpWebResponse.StatusCode);
            Console.WriteLine (responseBody);
        } catch (WebException webException) {
            HttpWebResponse httpWebResponse = (HttpWebResponse) webException.Response;
            Console.WriteLine ("Received error status code: " + httpWebResponse.StatusCode);
            Console.WriteLine ();
            Console.WriteLine ("The following headers were received in the response:");
            for (int i = 0; i < httpWebResponse.Headers.Count; ++i) {
                Console.WriteLine ("Header Name: {0}, Value: {1}", httpWebResponse.Headers.Keys[i], httpWebResponse.Headers[i]);
            }
        }

Hi Vivek,

I am not getting any response in exception

it is giving me an error at the line below in exception block.

HttpWebResponse httpWebResponse = (HttpWebResponse)webException.Response;
Console.WriteLine("Received error status code: " + httpWebResponse.StatusCode);

Hi,
