Bug? Getting SecureChannelFailure when trying to create B4i-Bridge or compile app

[JohnC]

I have not compiled a B4i app in many, many months. So when I just went to do a hosted compile, I received a User ID error because my hosted ID expired, so I entered a newer one and the compile process moved pass that point (I am mentioning this because apparently the B4i IDE was able to at least properly connect to the hosted server for the ID check.)

However, later in the compile process I get the below SecureChannelFailure.

My first thought is that the hosted server might have been updated to only allow TLS 1.3 connections to it and because I am using a Windows 7 PC which does not support TLS 1.3 (only TLS 1.2), it might cause such an error. If this is the case, from what I understand servers can be configure to allow both TLS 1.2 and 1.3 connections.

(ps. I am using B4i 8.50 64-bit and I tried both the primary and secondary servers)

Are you able to access this page: https://builder1.b4x.com:51042/test ?

Yes, I am able to open that page which lists a bunch of info without any error.

I also just did another compile attempt (and received the same error) if that helps troubleshoot this issue by allowing you to look at the server's event logs that occurred just now.

Thank you for looking into this because I am kinda dead in the water at this point.

Just found the cause

Six months ago I was debugging a TLS 1.2 issue and I enabled the editing of the "SSL Cipher Suite Order" in MMC console and made some changes. Disabling that setting fixed this error.

Since this fix will probably not benefit anyone else, please delete this thread.

Better to keep this thread. It might save someone a few hours in the future...
