What are the Schannel TLS fatal alert codes?


Where can I find a definition of the Windows Schannel fatal alerts codes that show up in Event Viewer? For instance:


Solution

  • The alert codes are defined at:

    https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/win32/secauthn/schannel-error-codes-for-tls-and-ssl-alerts

        40 = SSL3_ALERT_HANDSHAKE_FAILURE
        42 = TLS1_ALERT_BAD_CERTIFICATE
        43 = TLS1_ALERT_UNSUPPORTED_CERT
        44 = TLS1_ALERT_CERTIFICATE_REVOKED
        45 = TLS1_ALERT_CERTIFICATE_EXPIRED
        46 = TLS1_ALERT_CERTIFICATE_UNKNOWN
        48 = TLS1_ALERT_UNKNOWN_CA
        70 = TLS1_ALERT_PROTOCOL_VERSION
