Error message when you try to connect a Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) SharePoint Portal Server or Project server to Project Portfolio Server 2007: "The underlying connection was closed"
You try to connect a server that is running Microsoft SharePoint Portal Server
or Microsoft Project to Microsoft
Office Project Portfolio Server 2007. When you do this, the connection fails.
Additionally, you
receive the following error message:
The underlying
connection was closed: Could not establish trust relationship for the SSL/TLS
secure channel.
This issue occurs when the server uses Secure Sockets Layer (SSL).
This issue occurs because the SSL certificate of the
SharePoint Portal Server or Project server site is not configured as a
trusted certificate.
To work around this issue, follow these steps:
- Log on to the computer that is running Project Portfolio
Server 2007.
- Open Internet Explorer, and then connect to the SharePoint
Portal Server or Project server site through SSL. For example, make sure that
you specify the URL by using the "https:/" prefix.
- Install the SSL certificate when you are prompted about the
certificate.
- In Internet Explorer, click Internet
Options on the Tools menu, and then click the
Content tab.
- Under Certificates, click
Certificates, locate and then click the certificate that you
installed in step 3, and then export the certificate.
- Click Start, click Run,
type mmc, and then click OK.
- Add the certificate snap-in.
- Locate and then install the certificate that you exported
in step 5.
APPLIES TO
- Microsoft Office Project Portfolio Server 2007
