HTTPS is not working as expected

[miriambron]

While trying to use https server as described in the HttpsTest. It is not working: In the log I see 12:37:22.021 DBG >> [NetSh] SSL Certificate bindings: 12:37:22.027 DBG >> [NetSh] ------------------------- 12:37:22.027 DBG >> [NetSh] The system cannot find the file specified.

When trying to add certificate , and play with the other parameters, nothing didn't work.

Hello @miriambron, thanks for using EmbedIO!

In order to be able to help you, we need some more information:

• Which operating system are you using?
• For which platform (.NET Framework, .NET Core, Xamarin...) and platform version are you compiling?
• The code used to initialize your web server would help, too.

Hi, Thanks for quick response! I'm using Windows 10 . .Net framework Version=v4.7.1

the Code:

        var url = "https://+:9697";

        var options = new WebServerOptions()
            .WithUrlPrefix(url)
            .WithAutoLoadCertificate()
            .WithMode(HttpListenerMode.EmbedIO);
        var webServer = new WebServer(options);
        webServer.OnAny(ctx => ctx.SendStringAsync("sssss", MimeType.PlainText, Encoding.UTF8));

        var cts = new CancellationTokenSource();
        var task = webServer.RunAsync(cts.Token);

        // Wait for any key to be pressed before disposing of our web server.
        // In a service we'd manage the lifecycle of of our web server using
        // something like a BackgroundWorker or a ManualResetEvent.
        Console.ReadKey(true);
        cts.Cancel();
        try
        {
            task.Wait();
        }
        catch (AggregateException)
        {
            // We'd also actually verify the exception cause was that the task
            // was cancelled.
            webServer.Dispose();
        }

When changing to http , and removing the WithAutoLoadCertificate option , it works.

Thanks in advance!

Looks like there is no SSL certificate in your system that EmbedIO can use.

EmbedIO can (to some extent, and only under Windows) automatically load a SSL certificate, but it cannot generate one for you.

@geoperez any thoughts?

Okay, Thanks! If I want to use another options , I see in the documentation:

You need to create a WebServerOptions instance with the path to a PFX file and the AutoRegister flag on

But I can't see where I can specify the path , in the options

After I try to add Certificate to store, and I don't see anymore the " [NetSh] The system cannot find the file specified." , Still , I can connect to the https server

Apparently the information you found is outdated. Not your fault.

Unfortunately I'm not an expert at all when it comes to HTTPS and certificates, but my google-fu is strong. :wink: Try this:

    .WithCertificate(new X509Certificate2(PATH_OF_YOUR_CERTIFICATE))
    .WithAutoRegisterCertificate()

    .WithCertificate(new X509Certificate2(PATH_OF_YOUR_CERTIFICATE))
    .WithAutoRegisterCertificate()

This is taken from Here: https://github.com/unosquare/embedio#support-for-ssl When I tried it , I'm getting

System.InvalidOperationException: 'NetSh error: SSL Certificate add failed, Error: 1312 A specified logon session does not exist. It may already have been terminated.

I tried to play with many options I see , nothing works.

Okay , when I used Self-Sign certificate , like in : https://stackoverflow.com/questions/13806299/how-can-i-create-a-self-signed-certificate-using-c

It works.

Thanks!

Glad you have made it. Happy HTTPS serving! 😃
