X509 parsing error, 'negative serial number' while pulling repository - ssl

Our server access internet through a proxy. When I try to run a pull command such as
sudo docker run -t -i ubuntu:14.04 /bin/bash
I get the below error:

It looks like the proxy in your company uses SSL interception to inspect SSL traffic, which means that you get a certificate signed by the proxy CA of your company instead of the original certificate. It also looks like that this proxy CA is not trusted by your system and thus the verification fails.
I would recommend that you contact your firewall administrator on how to deal with the problem. Either they will add an exception for the SSL inspection, or they will tell you which certificate you need to import as trusted in your system.

This should be fixed for any Docker compiled with Go 1.6+, see: https://github.com/golang/go/commit/a0ea93dea5f5741addc8c96b7ed037d0e359e33f.

start-iap-tunnel unable to connect to a listening port

I'm installing OpenVPN Access Server on a Google Cloud instance. Its webUI listens on port 943 using https. It has a self-signed certificate whose name doesn't match the server's hostname (10.150.0.2). I can't start an SSH tunnel. I'm looking for a way to troubleshoot the connection from the IAP service to my server.
The command I'm running is gcloud compute start-iap-tunnel vpn 943 --local-host-port=localhost:943 I receive the normal Testing if tunnel connection works message.
It errs out with ERROR: (gcloud.compute.start-iap-tunnel) While checking if a connection can be made: Error while connecting [4003: 'failed to connect to backend']. (Failed to connect to port 943)
If I add --log-http to the command invocation the relevant information follows (it looks like a normal req/resp cycle with a 200 that I assume is from my client to the IAP service):
Testing if tunnel connection works.

ERROR: (gcloud.compute.start-iap-tunnel) While checking if a connection can be made: Error while connecting [4003: 'failed to connect to backend']. (Failed to connect to port 943)
To my knowledge this is the limit of easily accessible troubleshooting for start-tap-tunnel.
Moving on to the local machine we can connect to 10.150.0.2:943 before puking a la certificate.

It seems to me that my client happily connects to the IAP service which fails to connect to my server. I would expect to see an IAP error if it was erring out because of the cert. The only thing I can think of to test this is by generating a certificate whose issuer google likes. (LetsEncrypt for example.)
This message means that the backend does not have a socket open in the listening state. Common reasons are that no service has been started or a firewall is blocking the port.
To allow the Identity Aware Proxy into your VPC, allow traffic from 35.235.240.0/20.
ERROR: (gcloud.compute.start-iap-tunnel) While checking if a

This error means that the certificate provided does not match the address that the connection is made to:

Some clients, such as wget support ignoring SSL certificate validation. For wget see the --no-check-certificate flag.
Once you solve that problem you will run into another set of problems:
Under normal circumstances, you can not use HTTPS with tunnels. Tunnels are a form of man in the middle. There are tricks that can be employed, none of them secure.
Commercial SSL certificates do not support IP addresses only public domain names. You would need to create your own self-signed certificate, which would not be trusted or do not validate the certificate.
The last issue is that HTTPS endpoints require encryption negotiation from the client party. The start-iap-tunnel command does not initiate encryption (TLS negotiation). This command also does not do any form of certificate exchange and that is why you do not see an IAP error about certificates. This command only transfers data between the tunnel endpoints.
In summary, you cannot use HTTPS with TCP / SSH tunnels without deploying tricks and/or disabling features which defeats the purpose of HTTPS.
Allow IAP traffic through the firewall allowed my external client to connect to the internal port 943 via an IAP tunnel.
Allowing port 943 from 35.235.240.0/20 solved my problem.
More information is available at the GCP IAP docs

Heroku Hobby Dyno: Error in connection establishment: net::ERR_SSL_PROTOCOL_ERROR, server verification OK but ALPN server does not agree to protocol

I have a simple app where the client is sending a request to join a websocket channel upon page load via a wss connection. I have deployed my app to heroku at domain my_app.heroku.com. Whenever I open my site, I get the error Error in connection establishment: net::ERR_SSL_PROTOCOL_ERROR. I understand that this is an SSL issue, and also that to use Heroku's SSL, you must be on a hobbyist account. So, I upgraded the app to hobbyist (one day ago), but it has not fixed the problem.
I have googled the issue, and from what I see it appears that additional setup beyond upgrading to Heroku Hobby should only be required if using a custom domain-name, which I am not. How can I get the SSL working on my my_app.heroku.com domain with the Hobby dyno?
EDIT: If I run curl -vI <my_app>.heroku_app.com I get the following:

I found the answer after finally finding this question. I thought all along the issue was due to setting up SSL certificates on Heroku, however it was due to my client side code. Per the tutorial I was following, the WS connection was "wss://my_app.herokuapp.com:80/subscribe". Removing the port number was the fix.

How to configure Knox to make it pass Authorization header to a backend service?

As discussed in my other question there is no support for websockets authentication in Knox, but as a temporary solution we could handle authentication in our backend service. Our test has shown however that Knox does not pass Authorization header to the backend.
[client]$ curl -i -u '<user>:<password>' https://knox-server/gateway/default/myservice/ping
# 8090 is our backend port
[knox-server]$ ngrep -W byline port 8090

How should I configure Knox (0.12.0 from HDP 2.6.2) to make it pass Authorization header to the backend for websocket connection?
While writing this question I realised that there is a ticket KNOX-895 resolving the issue of passing cookies and headers to a backend service in Knox 0.14.0.
[EDIT]
I cloned knox git repo (commit 92b1505a), which includes KNOX-895 (2d236e78), run it locally with added websocket service to sandbox topology.

* Connection #0 to host www.this-site.com left intact
What is going on here and how can this work? I just want https for my site.
You cannot access the Heroku SSL endpoint directly. That endpoint represents the hostname where you need to point your domain to, as explained in the DNS and domain configuration of the Heroku article.
If you want to point a subdomain (e.g. www.this-site.com), then create a DNS record CNAME in your DNS hosting provider that points the www record to the Heroku SSL endpoint:
www CNAME qwasf-34234.herokussl.com
If you want to point the root domain (this-site.com), then you need to use a provide that supports the CNAME-like record for the root domain, as explained in this Heroku article as you can't use a CNAME for the root domain.
Make sure your domain is not still pointing to the herokuapp.com hostname.
You can test my assertion by sending a cURL request to the SSL endpoint, but passing the Host header (as the browser would do).
$ curl -i qwasf-34234.herokussl.com -H "Host: www.this-site.com"
You cannot visit the qwasf-34234.herokussl.com domain that Heroku gives you. Instead, you are supposed to change your DNS to point to that as a CNAME, instead of qwasf-34234.herokuapp.com.

Golang issue x509: cannot verify signature: algorithm unimplemented on net/http

I was writing a very simple Golang script and use this library golang-jenkins to connect with our internal HTTPS server. But I face the following x509 cert issue and wasn't sure what to do with the x509 cert problem. Our team has zero access to Jenkins and would like to know what else we can do to dig more about the issue.

TLS_ECDHE_RSA_WITH_AES_128_CBC_SHA256 is currently broken in Go, it will be supported in v1.4, the only workaround is to downgrade the TLS MaxVersion.
A quick look at golang-jenkins, it doesn't allow specifying the http.Client to use and just uses http.DefaultClient, the only ugly way to downgrade TLS's MaxVersion is to override http.DefaultClient.Transport.
You should be able to do something like this in func init() before you try to connect to anything:
cfg := &tls.Config{
MaxVersion: tls.VersionTLS11, // try tls.VersionTLS10 if this doesn't work
PreferServerCipherSuites: true,
}
http.DefaultClient.Transport = &http.Transport{
TLSClientConfig: cfg,
}
Keep in mind this will set the transport for anything that uses http.DefaultClient directly, like http.Get, however if you use your own instance, you will be fine.
