Search settings - Authentication failed because the remote party has closed the transport stream

Search settings - Authentication failed because the remote party has closed the transport stream 

I recently run into a peculiar problem with MOSS 2007 search, to give you some background to the issue that I had a new farm had been provisioned running MOSS 2007 SP1, it contained two servers:

·         Server1 - Web Front End / Query

·         Server2 - Index

I started hitting problem when attempting to configure search using Search Settings within the SSP administration site, it generated the following error:

Authentication failed because the remote party has closed the transport stream

After much investigation including reviewing the Application and ULS logs I found the cause of the issue being the fact that Server1 could not connect to the search web service on Server2 using the following URL

To rule out an issue with a firewall or intermediary networking device I ran the following command using cmd.exe from server1 to test connectivity to server2

telnet server2 56738

This connected successfully, which meant that the issue was likely to be caused by the SSL certificate that is created during installation/configuration and is used by the Office Server Web Services site.

To resolve the issue, I used the IIS 6.0 resource kit tool SelfSSL to re-create the SSL certificate used for the Office Server Web Services site on both servers. This tool is available from .

I ran the following command on both servers to do this:

Selfssl /s:(IIS ID of the Office Server Web Services site) /v:(length of validity for the certificate in days – I opted for 1000)

This then replaced the existing certificate with the newly created SelfSSL certificate and Search Settings now worked.

My investigation into the root cause of this continues….I’ll keep you all posted!

UPDATE 08/01/09 - This issue can potentially be caused when MOSS 2007 is installed on a server running .NET 3.5 SP1. This can be worked around by applying SP1 for .NET 3.5 after MOSS 2007 has been installed a KB article is now live at
