Set Powershell to skip SSL certificate checks
If you are trying to query a web site and you have invalid SSL certificates, Powershell is by default very strict on what it accepts. You will often end up with errors like:
Invoke-WebRequest : The underlying connection was closed: Could not establish trust relationship for the SSL/TLS secure channel.
or
Invoke-WebRequest : The request was aborted: Could not create SSL/TLS secure channel.
When you try to use
Invoke-WebRequest or Invoke-RestMethod on a web URL with old or insecure certificates or CAs. Example:PS C:\Users\CorrM1> Invoke-WebRequest -Uri https://badwebsite.with.crap.certs:1943/application/service
To get around this, try running the script fragment below before you make your remote calls.
This performs bypasses for the certificate issues.
add-type @"
using System.Net;
using System.Security.Cryptography.X509Certificates;
public class TrustAllCertsPolicy : ICertificatePolicy {
public bool CheckValidationResult(
ServicePoint srvPoint, X509Certificate certificate,
WebRequest request, int certificateProblem) {
return true;
}
}
"@
[System.Net.ServicePointManager]::CertificatePolicy = New-Object TrustAllCertsPolicy
