Config IIS on HTTPS for DEV ambient

Question

Hello everyone,

I have a site stored on IIS in my local network with a couple of APIs developed (assuming that I have always used it in http), I need the APIs to be available in HTTPS.

I store a self-signed certificate on the IIS server machine 172.16.1.193 and in the bindings I select in certificate.

If I test the API on the same machine with IP / localhost it works, but if I try from the PC next to it, nothing to do, the response is always net::ERR_CERT_INVALID

The call is very simple, I report it below. Is there a way to get around this situation? The API will always be confined within my network.

<script>

function inviaRichiestaGET(url) {

const xhr = new XMLHttpRequest();

xhr.open('GET', url, true);

xhr.onreadystatechange = function () {

if (xhr.readyState === 4) {

console.log(xhr.status); // Status della risposta

console.log(xhr.responseText); // Corpo della risposta

}

};

xhr.send(); // Invio della richiesta

}

inviaRichiestaGET('https://172.16.1.193/Api_CMD_Monitoring_DC.aspx?Trc_ACT=aabbccddee');

</script>

Hello,

 

Thank you for posting in Q&A forum.

To further troubleshoot the self-signed certificate issue, please kindly try below steps:

1.Export the self-signed certificate from the IIS server and import it to client certificate store.

2.Go to IIS Manager and navigate to your site, select "Bindings" and ensure that the HTTPS binding is correctly configured with the self-signed certificate.

3.Check the Certificate Chain:

Ensure that the certificate chain is complete and that the client machines trust the root certificate authority which issued the self-signed certificate.

4.Test the Connection after the configuration and give another try.

 

I hope the information above is helpful.

If you have any questions or concerns, please feel free to let us know.

 

Best regards，
