Issue/Introduction

When attempting to connect a .Net (DotNet) agent to an Enterprise Manager (EM) using an ssl (Secure Socket layer) url  (as described in the product documentation)

For example: agentManager.url.1=ssl://myserver.com:5101

it fails to connect and reports the following error.

[WARN] [IntroscopeAgent.Isengard] Could not add EM 1 because of invalid Connection Properties: Exception creating socket factory for 'client.socketfactory.1.default' property: com.wily.isengard.postofficehub.link.net.SSLSocketFactory: Can't find com.wily.isengard.postofficehub.link.net.SSLSocketFactory : Searched in domain: Name:PerfMonCollectorAgent.exe There are no context policies. mscorlib: Could not load type 'com.wily.isengard.postofficehub.link.net.SSLSocketFactory' from assembly 'mscorlib, Version=2.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=b77a5c561934e089'. .....

Environment

APM 10.7

Resolution

This is currently not supported for .Net agents

To workaround this issue use the HTTPS tunneling as workaround described in knowledge document 000037728 - The .NET Agent can only connect to the Enterprise Manager (EM) over SSL by tunneling through the HTTPS port of the Enterprise Manager (EM) Web Server, but what are the steps to achieve this.
 

Additional Information

This is currently being looked at as a development request to add this support
