SAP SSL handshake failed - sap

I'm trying to retrieve data from an open data api. I have downloaded the certificate from the site and imported it into STRUST (SSL Client Anonymous).
Then I created a HTTP connection to external server in SM59. In the beginning it worked fine, until last week when the api changed its URL and so its DNS.
Of course it could no longer be reached by the current host. So I did above steps again for the new URL (changed everything accordingly like hostname etc. in SM59), but this time I receive following error:
SSL handshake with 'hostname:port' failed: SSSLERR_CONN_CLOSED (-10)#Remote
Peer has closed the network connection##SapSSLSessionStartNB()==SSSLERR_CONN_CLOSED##
Anyone has an idea on how to solve this?

On another forum someone helped me solve the problem. He pointed me out that the problem lies with SNI see: https://security.stackexchange.com/questions/101965/ssl3-error-when-requesting-connection-using-tls-1-2/102018#102018
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Server_Name_Indication
To solve this problem you need to add following parameter: icm/HTTPS/client_sni_enabled and set it to TRUE on the DEFAULT profile. Afterwards you need to restart the application server in order to activate the effects of the parameter.

EDIT:
I came across this error again later on, but this time it seemed that the error was caused because we used a certificate with TLS 1.2 which was not supported by our system. You can check this link: https://launchpad.support.sap.com/#/notes/510007 we implemented number 7 to fix this.

how to fix unsupported ssl protocol error?

I am trying to add an advertiser link(paved.com) in my newsletter. Before adding to newsletter, I had to add that link to my custom domain, for that they (paved.com) had provided me with CNAME and it's value.
I add that to my DNS server, I am using aws's route53 as my dns server, so adding that was straightforward. But now, when I click on that link, it throws an unsupported protocol error i.e. ERR_SSL_VERSION_OR_CIPHER_MISMATCH
I have no clue how to debug this and I will really appreciate your time and help.
One thing I had tried was to issue a new certificate for the custom domain they had provided, but that also didn't work.
Commonly the error happens when the web browser and the web server don’t support a common SSL protocol version.
Did you check the tls version? try to force the tls version to 1.2 and have a try.

Enabling TLS in Elasticsearch

I'm having problems enabling TLS in Elasticsearch 7.1.1 running on Windows 7.
I have a single node with certificates created as
elasticsearch-certutil ca
elasticsearch-certutil cert --ca elastic-stack-ca.p12
The elasticsearch.yml file has the following settings
node.name: node1
discovery.type: single-node
xpack.security.enabled: true
xpack.security.transport.ssl.verification_mode: certificate
xpack.security.transport.ssl.keystore.path: 'C:\elasticsearch-7.1.1\config\certs\elastic-certificates.p12'
xpack.security.transport.ssl.truststore.path: 'C:\elasticsearch-7.1.1\config\certs\elastic-certificates.p12'
This works fine but when I add the below
xpack.security.http.ssl.enabled: true
xpack.security.http.ssl.keystore.path: 'C:\elasticsearch-7.1.1\config\certs\elastic-certificates.p12'
xpack.security.http.ssl.truststore.path: 'C:\elasticsearch-7.1.1\config\certs\elastic-certificates.p12'
and start up elasticsearch I see the following error
[2019-06-25T07:34:19,659][WARN ][o.e.h.AbstractHttpServerTransport]
[node1] caught exception while handling client http traffic, closing

io.netty.handler.ssl.NotSslRecordException: not an SSL/TLS record:
This is repeated every 10-15 seconds.
https is enabled though and I can access the node using https://localhost:9200
I don't know why I receive the above error though as nothing else is running and accessing elasticsearch.
Any help would be much appreciated.
Thanks heaps
It was pointed out to me, on the elastic forum, that the above is a warning and not an error. I still couldn't understand what was causing it as I wasn't running any service or anything else that could be causing it but eventually found something called heartbeat that was running. This was obviously setup in an earlier version/previous installation of Kibana and this was still running, making a call using http and thus causing the above error (this is used for creating dummy data to use for/by to demo Kibana).
I came across this problem too. And IF you have previously installed Elastic Search then high chance you got some residual indices with "red" status, which makes the process of enabling TLS unsuccessful.
Try this command to verify your indices and their statuses
curl -XGET https://localhost:9200/_cat/indices
then delete those with red status.

Configuring Proton for SSL / TLS throwing openssl wrong version number and gRPC client error

I'm kinda at a loss here.
Trying to set up proton with SSL / TLS access, but after creating the certificates with the (modified) shell scripts
supplied by the AppDev-Pack and linking the keyring and everything in notes.ini, I always seem to get
the error "Handshake failed with fatal error SSL_ERROR_SSL: error: 100000f7:SSL routines:OPENSSL_internal:
WRONG_VERSION_NUMBER".
Tried both a windows and linux server, as well as using the accessing node.js app with and without
certificates - but with no success.
Also tried the troubleshoot section of https://doc.cwpcollaboration.com/appdevpack/docs/en/proton-admin.html and it connected just fine,
but won't if i connect with node.js.
Looks like the error is thrown before a certificate is even checked?
In this example the error is thrown after trying to get a document by UNID.
notes.ini (proton parts)
gRPC Client Error
If someone has an idea how to fix that issue or where to start - that would really help me.
Thanks in advance.
It appears that the client side does not have the secure flag set. At least I get a similar stack when I try to connect without TLS when the server expects TLS.
See the secure attribute when calling useServer() function, and you'll also need to provide the credentials attributes.

ColdFusion 10 HTTP SSL

I'm running a site and several sub domains on ColdFuson 10 Standard, we have just upgraded from ColdFusion 9 where everything was working fine.
The sites have a wildcard ssl certificate installed so all the sub domains are secured. I'm making http calls between the sites but getting the I/O Exception: peer not authenticated error.
Charset [empty string]
ErrorDetail I/O Exception: peer not authenticated
Filecontent Connection Failure
Header [empty string]
Mimetype Unable to determine MIME type of file.
Responseheader struct [empty]
Statuscode Connection Failure. Status code unavailable.
Text YES
I've installed the certificate in the correct key store and verified it's there using keytool -listand restarted, but still get the authentication error.
I know this is a common problem and is usually fixed by installing the certificate and there are workarounds for ColdFusion Enterprise but I'm struggling to get this working on Standard. Any suggestions?
After many days of investigation I came across this blog post which leads to bug report #3598342.
It turns out to be an issue on Windows 2012 servers running IIS 8. There is an option on the site binding to 'Require Server Name Indication' or 'SNI'. Turning this option off allows cfhttp to connect via https.
It turns out this is an issue with the HttpClient library and has been fixed in builds 288845, 288846 and 290605. Which doesn't really help as the last update 13 only gives me build 287689.
This could be an issue I have run across where I had to import the secure server certificate into coldfusion before it would allow me to connect.

Hope that helps. I know it helped me!

Fiddler https error: "because they do not possess a common algorithm"

I am trying to monitor https traffic with Fiddler, using current newest version:2.4.4.5
I've successfully set up https, certificates and I can see the full https encrypted traffic for example browsing my bank's web site.
...however...
When I trying to monitor an other server I got this error message in the response window:
"Failed to secure existing connection for 77.87.178.160. A call to SSPI failed, see inner exception. InnerException: System.ComponentModel.Win32Exception: The client and server cannot communicate, because they do not possess a common algorithm"
For full Fiddler window see:
The client is not a in this case browser, but a custom client program, which communicates with its own server.
My question: Is this exception misleading and in reality some other error prevents the secure channel to set up?
...or...
We have still chance to monitor this https communication?
Thx in advance
What is the client program?
This error typically indicates that that client application is only offering certain HTTPS ciphers, and those ciphers are not supported by Fiddler.
However, in this case, the specific problem here is almost certainly this: http://blogs.msdn.com/b/ieinternals/archive/2009/12/08/aes-is-not-a-valid-cipher-for-sslv3.aspx
The client is trying to use AES with SSLv3, but that isn't one of the valid ciphers for SSL3. As a consequence, the connection fails.
You might be able to workaround this by clicking Rules > Customize Rules. Scroll down to the Main() function and add the following line within the function:
CONFIG.oAcceptedServerHTTPSProtocols =
System.Security.Authentication.SslProtocols.Ssl3;
Please let me know if this works.
NOTE Current versions of Fiddler offer a UI link for this: Look at the lis of enabled protocols on the HTTPS tab.
Unbelievably this issue is still present some 6 years later.
Just installed the latest version of Fiddle (v5.0.20194.41348), and sure enough on Win7 using Chrome or IE it keeps failing with the dreaded error:
"fiddler.network.https> HTTPS handshake to google.com (for #1) failed. System.ComponentModel.Win32Exception The client and server cannot communicate, because they do not possess a common algorithm"
After some hours of testing, I found a middle ground solution which seems to work with virtually all websites. The aim was to get the highest possible security with no errors in the log. Without needing to add any code, simply changing this line under Tools > Options > HTTPS > Protocols is what worked for me (just copy and paste it):
<client>;ssl3;tls1.1;tls1.2
Basically removed the ssl2 and tls1.0 protocols which leaves us with some pretty decent security and no errors so far. Having spent hours of frustration with this error, hope someone out there might find this useful, and a big thanks to EricLaw who discovered the root of the problem.
Yes I too have seen this error when working outside of fiddler and it was connected with AuthenticateAsServer but only went wrong when using IE10 and not Chrome as the browser.
Odd thing is that it did not break all the time for IE10 using SslProtocols.Tls for the protocol so I will add a bit of code to switch the protocol if one fails
The protocol that can be used also seems to change on if you are using a proxy server like Fiddler or using an invisible server by hijacking the DNS via the hosts file to divert traffic to the server
