vSphere error on searching VMs - "Login to the query service failed. An SSL error occured. (The request was aborted: Could not create SSL/TLS secure channel"

[Nazar_Bijle]

Hi guys,

I get this error when I run a search inventory to find VMs.

"Login to the query service failed. An SSL error occured. (The request was aborted: Could not create SSL/TLS secure channel"

Can you help?

Thank you

please share the below details.

version of vcenter

client used? web client or c#

type of authentication. Are you using "use windows session credentials" SSP authentication?

vSphere Version 5.0

Using Windows session credentials

[daphnissov]

This is a known issue when using Windows session credentials and the C# client. To be able to perform queries, you cannot use session credential pass-through.

[hussainbte]

kindly confirm by providing the credentials manually instead of using the session credentials.

Nazar_Bijle, include the following registry key below to correct the vcenter client search problem:

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\SecurityProviders\SCHANNEL\KeyExchangeAlgorithms\Diffie-Hellman]

"ClientMinKeyBitLength"=dword:00000200
