C# REST API Call - Working in Postman, NOT in Code

问题

I have some existing code that was working and all-of-a-sudden quit.

I can't figure out why...

Here is my code:

public static string RequestToken(string u, string pw)
{
    string result = string.Empty;

    string strUrl = "https://xxx.cloudforce.com/services/oauth2/token?grant_type=password&client_id=XXXX&client_secret=XXXX&username=" + u + "&password=" + pw;
    HttpWebRequest tokenRequest = WebRequest.Create(strUrl) as HttpWebRequest;
    Debug.Print(strUrl);
    tokenRequest.Method = "POST";
    try
    {
        using (HttpWebResponse tokenResponse = tokenRequest.GetResponse() as HttpWebResponse)
        {
            if (tokenResponse.StatusCode != HttpStatusCode.OK)
                throw new Exception(String.Format(
                    "Server error (HTTP {0}: {1}).",
                    tokenResponse.StatusCode,
                    tokenResponse.StatusDescription));
            DataContractJsonSerializer jsonSerializer2 = new DataContractJsonSerializer(typeof(ResponseAuthentication));
            object objTokenResponse = jsonSerializer2.ReadObject(tokenResponse.GetResponseStream());
            ResponseAuthentication jsonResponseAuthentication = objTokenResponse as ResponseAuthentication;
            result = jsonResponseAuthentication.strAccessToken;
        }
    }
    catch (Exception ex)
    {
        Debug.Print(ex.InnerException.ToString());
    }
    return result;
}

I am now getting a 500 Internal Server Error where before this was working cleanly.

When I try to debug using Postman, I pass the URL directly and it works fine. Even when I put a stop in the code and use the exact same URL that then fails from inside the code, it works in Postman, but not in C#.

Out of Postman, I get an orderly...

{
  "access_token": "XXXXXX",
  "instance_url": "https://xxx.cloudforce.com",
  "id": "https://login.salesforce.com/id/XXXXXX",
  "token_type": "Bearer",
  "issued_at": "XXXXXX",
  "signature": "XXXXXX"
}

To clarify, I have tried a GET request instead of POST and I receive the following response (in Postman):

{
  "error": "invalid_request",
  "error_description": "must use HTTP POST"
}

Any ideas here?

So, the answer ended up being that Salesforce ended their support for TLS 1.0, which is the default in .NET 4.5.

In this link, they mention this should happen in July of 2017, but somehow it hit our instance early. https://help.salesforce.com/articleView?id=000221207&type=1

We later confirmed that it would work in .NET 4.6, but NOT in 4.5...

Turns out .NET 4.6 defaults to using TLS 1.2.

It was a very simple fix, which took a LONG time to figure out.

Added this one line of code and it immediately worked:

ServicePointManager.SecurityProtocol = SecurityProtocolType.Tls12;

Hope that helps someone else with the same problem!

A little frustrating when such a simple one-line solution takes days to find.
