App Control: Secure Connection Failed Error on Console

App Control: Secure Connection Failed Error on Console

Environment

  • App Control Server: All version

Symptoms

Blank white page on IE and "Secure connection failed" page on Chrome and Firefox after re-generating certificate or re-installing Protection server.

Cause

The problem occurs because of a legacy SSL certificate hash property interfering with the current SSL binding, resulting in the correct binding being deleted. Ran the following cmd to confirm:
netsh http show sslcert

Resolution

  • Open MMC Certificate Snap-in and export a copy of the current valid certificate. Save it to the desktop as a backup.
  • Run the following cmd to delete the certificate binding for port 443:
netsh.exe http delete sslcert ipport=0.0.0.0:443
  • Re-run the cmd to validate the cert is no longer bound:
netsh http show sslcert
           (Note: You should no longer have an entry for 0.0.0.0:443)
  • Open IIS > Click on the Website name > Sites > Parity Console Web, then click on 'Bindings' in the right hand column.
  • Choose HTTPS 443 > Click 'Edit' > Choose the Carbon Black App Control cert that we want to use for the site.(Note: If the certificate is not in the list, then re-import it from the backup we made on the desktop.)
  • Once the cert is bound to the HTTPS port again, please restart the  Carbon Black App Control services and IIS service. Then attempt to connect to the console and let me know if the page is able to be displayed.
