TeleScope Uploader Not Uploading Due to Certificate Issues

Overview

Announcement about TSUploader SSL expiration on 18th April, 2021
The Telescope Uploader application which you are using contains an SSL certificate which is set to expire on April 18, 2021. In order to avoid connectivity and transmission issues for the uploader, we recommend that you immediately follow the attached instructions to download and distribute a new version of the application which is customized to your version of Telescope.
We recognize that this notification is coming very late, and we appreciate that this is a significant disruption of your business. You can expect a further update in the coming months on mitigating this process so that it is not a burden in future years.

TSUploader can cease uploading files and get stuck with Waiting to Initialize... displayed in the window. Error messages like these may also pop-up: The connection to this website is untrusted, The certificate used to identify the website is not trusted, The certificate has expired.

 

Solution

Root Cause

This can happen when the SSL certificate of the TeleScope domain can't be verified by the TSUploader application or due to an issue in IIS where when certificate chains are updated but IIS still provides old root CA in the web responses. One such scenario is mentioned in this article.
