How to fix the "could not create SSL/TLS secure channel" error


If you are observing API/server response as: "The request was aborted: Could NOT CREATE SSL/TLS secure channel", then it means that the server doesn't have a valid HTTPS certificate with the path used. But don’t worry. 


We are here to help!


The issue is observed when the SSL version being used with the code is an outdated version & the same is probably deprecated already. As a result, the API is bound to support the HTTPS protocol.


However, some of our below practices have helped users diagnose and resolve the aforementioned errors. If this doesn’t help, we’d suggest checking this with core developers.


  • Upgrade to the latest code libraries if available.

  • Ensure to adhere to updates TLS/SSL as the older versions may depreciate with time.

  • Try DNS-Flush as this can help resolve security, internet connectivity, and other propagation-related issues.

  • Ensure to use the updated versions of the code/framework (Java, PHP, .net, etc).
