SSL connection doesn't work (GrouShare GS: 15.1.6.8686 - GS 2020 SR1 CU06)

Question

Hi all, 
 We have a complete new GroupShare installation on a Windows 2019 Server. We have a valid certificate installed in IIS. 
 We can login to the GroupShare console via Windows/GroupShare authentication either through http or by https. 
 We can login from Studio 2021 via Windows/GroupShare authentication ONLY through http . Login through https produces the following error: 
 Please check that you have entered the correct server connection settings and that the server is available. System.ServiceModel.EndpointNotFoundException, System.ServiceModel, Version=4.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=b77a5c561934e089. 
 Before GrouShare GS: 15.1.6.8686 - GS 2020 SR1 CU06 endpoints where configured in the web.config file. This file has complety changed in CU6. Unfortunately, the installation document is still on an old revision. So the description doesn't help for the CU6 SSL configuration. Does anyone has already experienced the same issue and knows how to resolve it. Or can anyone tell me when we can expect a documentation that is up-to date? 
 Thanks Joachim

Dear Joachim, 
 Thank you for raising this issue in the Trados GroupShare forum. 
 The issue you are dealing with, might be related to the web.config file (C:\Program Files (x86)\SDL\SDL Server\Platform\web.config). The web.config file that comes with the Trados GroupShare 2020 SR1 CU6, is indeed a bit different than the one found in the previous to CU6 version. The file contains additional code lines. This is also stated in the Trados GroupShare - How to install the latest Cumulative Update KB ( https://gateway.sdl.com/apex/communityknowledge?articleName=000009894 ). What I understand from you is that the current web.config file does no longer contain the HTTPS bindings enable. Simply download it from here https://gateway.sdl.com/apex/communityknowledge?articleName=000001269 , paste it over the existing one (x86)\SDL\SDL Server\Platform\web.config) and restarting the IIS services should solve your Trados Studio - Trados GroupShare 2020 SR1 CU6 connectivity issue. 
 I hope this helps. 
 Best regards
