    Hello,

    I am getting "Failed to connect to my.domain.com:13391 Failed to initialize session with document engine: Unable to resolve Contentdistributor" in my Event Log.

    When I try to run .\SecureFASTSearchConnector.ps1 -ssaName "name of your content SSA" -username "domain\username",

    I get "No valid certificate found to configure your SSA.  Exiting."

    If I run Ping-SPEnterpriseSearchContentService my.domain.com:13391, I get a list of certificates, all of whose ConnectionSuccess is set to False.

    I've tried setting the port to 13390 based on some other posts around here, but that doesn't work.  If I do that and install the "No certificate" certificate, I get "Failed to connect to my.domain.com:13390 couldn't locate certificate: No certificate"

    Please help me get to the root this problem.

     

    Thank you!

    We ended up just not using https for query traffic. Couldn't get it to work otherwise.

    Alternatively, is there any way to "check" that my certificates are all correctly configured?  Or, what is the best way to troubleshoot the "Failed to connect to my.domain.com:13391 Failed to initialize session with document engine: Unable to resolve Contentdistributor" message?  I feel like I've done everything I could find on technet.

    Ok, so it was https. You can only use https with a CA certificate, not a self signed.
