I have an application server setup with workflow, forms, repository, web access, mobile etc and am trying to setup Workflow Web Service so users can run Workflows via business processes through the client/web client. When i try an setup the web app directory and workflow url i get the attached error. i have tried using http/https, hostname, ip, localhost and domain name with no luck..From experience i don't understand why there is an SSL issue when the connection should be local as everything is installed on this one server. Anyone have any ideas? Thank you

Running v 10.4.1 of everything.

Server running in dmz with only LFDS seperate.

External facing Apps all working and live.

The problem was an IIS URL rewrite that was redirecting http traffic to https.

The requirements for an HTTPS connection to be established are that the certificate returned from the server has to 1) be valid (i.e. not expired) 2) match the host name used for the connection and 3) be trusted by the client. #2 is why "localhost" and ip addresses don't generally work, and why you would generally use the FQDN in your connection string. What is the host name in your certificate? For #3, who issued your certificate, and is that CA trusted by the client?

You should be able to use a web browser to troubleshoot this, it has the same requirements for the connection to be secure and it usually provides better feedback on what requirement is missing.
