I received a similar error while deploying Shibboleth, reading attributes from an openLDAP directory:
ERROR shibd.Listener [29] sessionNew: caught exception while creating session: SOAPHTTPBindingProvider::send() failed while contacting SAML responder: error:1408F06B:SSL routines:SSL3_GET_RECORD:bad decompression The cause of the error appears to be a '$' character in an LDAP attribute postalAddress. The attribute postalAddress uses $ as a line delimiter: See http://www.red-hat.com/docs/manuals/dir-server/deploy/7.1/schema.html for example: "The postalAddress attribute expects an attribute value in the form of a multi-line string that uses dollar signs ($) as line delimiters. A properly formatted directory entry appears as follows: postalAddress: 1206 Directory Drive$Pleasant View, MN$34200" However inclusion of the '$' character causes a bad decompression error (error doesn't occur when it is removed). Neil Witheridge. --- in response to: Hi, I get the following error message and I don't no the reason for that. 2007-06-12 12:21:56 INFO SAML.SAMLSOAPHTTPBinding [45] sessionGet: sending SOAP message to https://kn.identity-provider.de:8443/shibboleth-idp/AA2007-06-12 12:21:56 ERROR SAML.SAMLSOAPHTTPBinding [45] sessionGet: failed while contacting SAML responder: error:1408F06B:SSL routines:SSL3_GET_RECORD:bad decompression 2007-06-12 12:21:56 ERROR shibtarget.SessionCache [45] sessionGet: caught SAML exception during SAML attribute query: SOAPHTTPBindingProvider::send() failed while contacting SAML responder: error:1408F06B:SSL routines:SSL3_GET_RECORD:bad decompression 2007-06-12 12:21:56 ERROR shibtarget.SessionCache [45] sessionGet: no response obtained I suppose there is a ssl problem regards with compatibility or it due to a build or library compatibility issue?!? How I could solve my problem? Furthermore I don't the meaning of this error message: "...error:1408F06B:SSL routines:SSL3_GET_RECORD:bad decompression..." Hope someone can help me. Cheers, tt
