Xibo Player fails to register after switching to HTTPS

All,

I just configured my Xibo CMS to support SSL and noticed that any new installed PC cannot connect to the CMS. The error msg is “The underlying connection was closed: An unexpected error occurred on a send.” Afaik this has something to do with .NET, but I’m not a programmer. Is there a fix available for this?

Cheers
Jens

We know SSL connections work well from all the Players (as all our hosted accounts are SSL enabled).

Perhaps you’re using a self-signed certificate or something and it’s therefore failing validation?

Alex,

yes, you are right. The SSL cert is self-signed. I’m running Xibo in a lab env for testing and not able to buy a SSL cert at this state of the project. Is it possible to configure .NET to accept self-signed certs?

Cheers
Jens

You’d need to import the root ca that signed the certificate in to the Windows trust store so that it’s trusted by the OS

Alex,
thanks for the quick response! Will do so!

Cheers
Jens
