Hi Henrik,
Welcome to the MSDN newsgroup.
From your description, you have deployed an ASP.NET webservice on your
server and the webservice is protected through SSL protocol. Since there is
another existing IIS site using SSL, you have configured the new IIS site
(in which your webservice is deployed) to use a new SSL port. However, when
you try calling the new webservice(through SSL/https), you're getting the
"the underlying connection is closed..." error , correct?
Please feel free to let me know if there is anything I misunderstand.
Generally speaking "the underlying connection is closed..." is a common
error message when the client side fail to establish network connection
(ususally http connection) with the server. I think first we can check the
server's SSL configuration to ensure it works correctly. To do this, we can
put some simple aspx pages in the IIS server's application virtual
directory(or just the application virtual directory your webservice
deployed). Then, try visting them through https address from client
machine's IE browser to see whether the page can be displayed without any
error or warning. When there is something incorrect with the SSL/https
setting of the server, the browser will popup a dialog to display the
problem. For example, the server certificate is not following a trusted
path at clientside or the server certificate's servername dosn't match the
servername in the url client application request, etc... Such error or
warning can be handled or ingored when we visit the SSL protected pages in
IE browser, however, when we programmatically request those pages, this
will lead to the "the underlying connection is closed...." error.
Please have a test on the above things. BTW, the server's IIS log is
another useful information we can check.
Hope this helps.
