This is the CFO. A slightly higher standard is kept.

Yes, it's just a registry entry I believe, nothing major. But still annoying.
I might get away with just logging onto another user and doing the swap that way, easy peasy.

Correct, or vice versa if you're using two-way SSL. I see that exception a lot.
It also could be a protocol version or cipher suite negotiation failure; you should know if you've recently changed configuration in this regard, but either way you can try [Net.ServicePointManager]::SecurityProtocol = Tls12 before making the request.

Yeah, I haven't changed anything except redeploying due to some small code changes on a completely unrelated section of the site.
That deploy was horrid, first attempt somehow successfully caused the .Net part of the site to not load whatsoever, so I was getting "You can't list the contents of this directory!!!" errors, then after trashing and re-redeploying it had permissions issues, and eventually now that it's "working" I discovered this issue.
It's just a bunch of files, what the fuck could be happening?!

Well, if web.config is one of those files, literally anything?
Also, the passage of time? Is it possible the certificate has expired?

Shouldn't be, but it's possible.

Well, no, doesn't look like it.
Well, you can check the System event log to see if there are any errors logged by Schannel. Could increase the logging level to warnings and informational messages as well, though I don't remember how to do that.

It's Azure. Best I have is a vague log full of "We sent something to the Insights!" and occasionally the error message I posted.
Sometimes I wish I had actual IIS Manager access to the instance, it would make many things so much easier...

Yeah. Even though the site is run in a VM, it's all abstractly-managed and there's little-to-no access to said VM outside the portal.

That sucks. :(
There might be something in the .NET framework to get you more information about the SSL negotiation, but if there is, I don't know it.

Status: On a train ride back home for the next 6 hours. I reserved a window seat with a table in a quiet cabin. The cabin has 6 seats and overhead luggage compartments.
I enter the cabin and there’s a hippie chick in there who is blocking the floor with a huge luggage, has put two large backpacks and another bag on two more seats and is sitting on a third.Oh, did you reserve this seat?
Yes. Can I help you put the luggage up?
No thanks, that’s not possible, it’s really heavy, like 50 kg.
Ok
smiles well at least there won’t be too many people in here.
I mentally roll my eyes so hard you could generate electricity with it. You can’t just take 3 seats in here and make other people go away.
Well, maybe you can if the train is relatively empty, we’ll see.An older couple tries to enter the cabin.
There’s two more seats available in here, right?
immediately Yes!
looks displeased
puts his and his wife‘s luggage up. Can I help you with that?
No it’s really heavy.
already tried to move it Oh yes, it feels like it.
There’s food in there. I’m going to Switzerland for two weeks and that’s twice as expensive there. she says, typing on her Mac Pro.
Well then let me help you with the backpacks instead.
they’re heavy too, and I need those.

If that was a train in Ireland, someone would have just told her to "get out of the fucking way." We're nice like that.
I do like Ireland, anyway.
Sounds like she was just a rude twat.
Yeah, but it's more fun to stereotype, so:
Conversation goes on about something.
: ... with the half-of-a-pig you got in that luggage.
: Actually I'm vegetarian. Never eaten meat in my whole life.
I don't mind vegetarians, but as I said, I'm being annoyed at her already so I'm just piling up.

I bought a galaxy note 8 because I thought I might make more notes if I could hand write them. So far that has worked out better than expected. I'm making a lot more notes but my Christ my handwriting is god awful. I have to cross out at least a third because they're illegible. Looking back at the older ones compared to newer ones my handwriting is slowly improving but calling my scrawl handwriting is a bit generous.

50 mg C17H21NO
After a few nights worth of relative lack of sleep, I took 100 mg of this last night. Put me right out. But then I woke up around 2:00 AM, totally soaked in sweat and completely confused at my surroundings. I didn't recognize my own bedroom for a good thirty seconds.
Normally, 100 mg doesn't do much as far as intended effects (and anything north of that dosage is just plain uncomfortable), but it's been long enough that my tolerance must have reset.

Depending on the conductor's mood, in Germany he may just tell her that (well, without the invective). The ones I've run into all had the "a lack of planning on your end does not constitute a need for me to tolerate your lack of getting shit out of the way" disposition.

For all your Azure TLS needs:My site (and the program it's using) is already using TLS 1.2.
Additionally, it's not an issue with the site not accepting secure connections, but that the site cannot connect securely to another site.

@Tsaukpaetra Yep, then follow @heterodox's advice and play with
ServicePointManager
. Incoming and outgoing connections have entirely different security subsystems, contexts, and policies () and apps that claim to be built for .NET 4.6.1 or lower, or are running on .NET 4.5 or lower, without a specific registry setting in a KB article that I can no longer link to, or when Jupiter is in the seventh house and Mercury is in retrograde, all only support TLS 1.0 and 1.1 outgoing by default, for "compatibility reasons" (
). So even though it's definitely not best practice to hardcode a TLS version, in this case you have to.
Edit: The rules are weird:
- If your app is built for and running on .NET 4.7 or higher, everything just works.
- If your app is built for .NET 4.6 or higher, and is running on .NET 4.6.2 or higher, everything should just work. However, you may have to do some weird magic in your app manifest.
- If your app is built for .NET 3.5-4.5, and is running on .NET 4.6 or higher, you either need to set some magic registry keys, or hardcode the TLS version using a magic number since the enumeration it's for doesn't have it. Note that trying to do that on runtime .NET 4.0 or earlier will cause an exception.
- If your app is built for .NET 3.0 or below, why the hell do you still have a Vista version?

Yeah. The problem is that this setup is working perfectly fine in the testing group. Also, deploys work great in the testing group. It's fucking retarded that the difference between "works" and "falls over" is "web.config says the database if over yonder".
