D365 FO: Business Event (Error/Issue - "The underlying connection was closed: An unexpected error occurred on a send")

 

Hello folks, While working a few days back with the Business Event in one of the virtual machine of dynamics 365 connection operations I had encountered an Issue and I'm sure most of you have had this kind of issue before with your business event system.

My business event was simple and straight – Using OOB business event when someone posts the customer payment, I need to get the email trigger. That’s all!! 😊

But when I activated the specific business event, supplying power automate artifacts(GUID), and upon posting the AR payment – I received an error – “The underlying connection was closed: An unexpected error occurred on a send.”

 We all know it must be something to do with .Net version or sometimes few protocols/certificate issues. And we write the below piece of code to get rid of the error:

ServicePointManager.SecurityProtocol = SecurityProtocolType.Tls12 | SecurityProtocolType.Tls11;

 However, we CAN’T write this line in our situation here. So, what NEXT!

Below is what I did to Resolve in my VM (*I know it's not great to use the Regedit – and you may loose your application if you mistype/incorrect entries.)

Set the SchUseStrongCrypto registry key as follows, save below code to forceTLS1.2.reg and run it:

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00 (WIN+R – RegEdit)

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\.NETFramework\v4.0.30319] "SchUseStrongCrypto"=dword:00000001 [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Microsoft\.NETFramework\v4.0.30319] "SchUseStrongCrypto"=dword:00000001

 

Good Day! 😊
