Error “Invoke-RestMethod : The request was aborted: Could not create SSL/TLS secure channel” in ControlUp Scoutbees

The user was trying to add scouts using the API but encountered an error message. Dennis suggested adding the TLS setting `$AllProtocols = [System.Net.SecurityProtocolType]’Ssl3,Tls,Tls11,Tls12′[System.Net.ServicePointManager]::SecurityProtocol = $AllProtocols` which resolved the issue.

Hi all, I’m trying to add scouts using the API (https://api.scoutbees.io/honeycomb/v1/scouts) but it keeps bugging me with the error message:

Invoke-RestMethod : The request was aborted: Could not create SSL/TLS secure channel.

I’ve added the Tls12 on top of my PSscript, but no scout will be added. Anyone an idea?

Thanks in advance.

using Powershell ISE? Try

“`$AllProtocols = [System.Net.SecurityProtocolType]’Ssl3,Tls,Tls11,Tls12′

[System.Net.ServicePointManager]::SecurityProtocol = $AllProtocols“`

Hi Dennis, rthanks for the quick answer and resolution. It’s working now. 👍

Have to mention that I only had this TLS setting:

[Net.ServicePointManager]::SecurityProtocol = [Net.SecurityProtocolType]::Tls12
