Tried upgrading to TSL1.2 from TSL1.0 for Salesforce API and getting Invalid username, password, security token

Hello,

We tried to upgrade to TSL1.2 using
ServicePointManager.SecurityProtocol = SecurityProtocolType.Tls12;
conn = new SalesforceConnection(userNAME, passWORD, secTOKEN);

in our .NET Console Application to connect to Salesforce and we are getting the error below when  initializing the connection.

INVALID_LOGIN: Invalid username, password, security token; or user locked out.

Can you please let me know what am i doing wrong here and please suggest a fix for this?

Thanks in Advance.

Hi Aravind,

i would run couple of verification for these error messages:

1. Are you connecting to the correct environment? Production (login.salesforce.com) v/s Sandboxes (test.salesforce.com)?
2. Have you verified with the login history if the connection is indeed hitting the right environment ?

Should give you some hints as where its going wrong...

Hi Aravind

Does it work now? Can you please let me know how to set up:

System.Net.ServicePointManager.SecurityProtocol = SecurityProtocolType.Tls12 | SecurityProtocolType.Tls11 | SecurityProtocolType.Tls;

Many thanks.

Hi Wang,

Just use ServicePointManager.SecurityProtocol = SecurityProtocolType.Tls12; before your connection and it should work fine.
