Secure WebService Failing

[Matt Sollars]

I've struggled with this problem, and it's lack of examples, for a couple of
months now. On several different web applications that we have written, we
need to communicate with a credit card merchant servicer. On one of the
projects a secure connection was made with a WebRequest object and during
the reply, a trust error was received. I can't remember the full details due
to the time it's been since that project.

The most recent project required a secure connection via a web service that
the merchant service provides. I instantiate an instance of the service and
call the method that processes the credit card. No matter what I try to get
around it, I get the same error message:

System.EntryPointNotFoundException: Unable to find an entry point named
EnumerateSecurityPackagesW in DLL security.dll.

The stack trace results in the following:

[EntryPointNotFoundException: Unable to find an entry point named
EnumerateSecurityPackagesW in DLL security.dll.]

I've tried a few things. I created a new class implementing
ICertificatePolicy that just returns True in the CheckValidationResult
method and set the ServicePointManager.CertificatePolicy to a new instance
of that class. I've output the SSL certificate on the server to a CER file
and added it to the web service's client certificates via
ClientCertificates.Add(X509Certificate.CreateFromC ertFile(Server.MapPath("My
ApplicationCert.cer"))). Each of these things were tried separately and
together just before the web service's method is invoked and nothing has
remedied the problem.

Please, help. Any suggestions, questions, ideas or examples will be greatly
appreciated.
Thanks in advance,

Hi Matt,

The error looks more like a certificate issue. Following are few known
conditions this error may occur.

1) Mismatched Certificate: a certificate is associated with the user ID of
the user who installed the certificate (this is the certificate user);
therefore, the certificate is available only when that user profile is
loaded. ASP.NET will be running under different account. Check the
Certificate in the MMC.

2) Mismatched server name: the server name should be same as the server
name on the certificate. This is most common problem. If the client and
server are on the same box, make sure that you are not using ¡°localhost?
Please change it to server name.

3) Proxy settings.
Please check the KB article Q307267
<http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;Q307267> and make
sure the certificates are installed properly.

Thanks very much.

Thanks a lot, Tian. I'll look into that. It's probably the user issue. I
guess I'll have to impersonate that user.

Tim,

I have the same error, but the problem is only on ISP side..any ideas?
Following is a brief description of my problem...

I have an aspx page, code for which I am including in mail. This page
works only for a few hours a day. It is inconsistent code does NOT
change but the page stops working. This page works fine on localhost
(at all
times) however at my ISP it is a different story. It works randomly ,
as best I can figure out it works for a few hours every day. Nothing is
consistent and it works in a random fashion. It appears to be some kind
of
sever specific issue at my ISP. Is anyone else having similar problems?
ISP (webhost4life) has not been of much help. Why does this page find
the entry point every so often and then does not find it?

Error Message that is reported

Unable to find an entry point named EnumerateSecurityPackagesW in DLL
security.dll.

It fails on the following line of code

Dim postData As Stream = oHttp.GetRequestStream()

Following is the stack trace output
