Question

It is full errors in the monitor for SMS_REST_PROVIDER:
SMS_REST_PROVIDER error "Administration service process failed to bind or unbind SSL certificate. "

Do you know how to fix it? Thanks in advance.

Answer 1

Hi,

1,Please reboot of the server to have a try. If possible, we can also try a site reset and see if it repairs the provider. A similar thread for your reference:
SMS_REST_PROVIDER Component Status Critical

2,This issue may happen when IIS default site (used by SCCM) has no SSL certificate bound to port 443. Please try below actions:

Go to IIS and select the top level which represents your hostname. On the panel, click under "Server Certificates" and you should see a certificate with the following name: "SMS Role SSL Certificate".
Then, go Sites > Default Web Site > Right ribbon > Bindings > Select https > Edit > SSL certificate, then choose SMS Role SSL Certificate in the drop down list. Confirm the binding by clicking OK.

Thanks for your time. Have a nice day!

Best regards,
Simon
