Re: how to verify that connection to s_server is successful?

Hi,

I have written a test client in java and using openssl s_server to verify
the connection, mutual authentication. I used keytool to generate
self-signed certificates (JKS ) and then used keytool UI (freeware) to
generate the certs in PKICS#12/PEM format for openssl. I use the following

s_server -cert "D:/ssl/src/Keys/usingUIforopenssl/servernewpublic.pem" -key
"D:/ssl/src/Keys/usingUIforopenssl/servernewprivate.pem" -CAfile
"D:/ssl/src/Keys/usingUIforopenssl/clientnewpublic.pem" -verify 1 -debug

The hex dump on server side is very cryptic. From the client after the conn
is established, I send "hello world" to the server which I see on the server
side. I just wanted to know:

Does this mean that the connection is established successfully?

command to run the s_server: -msg

Yes. But depending on your s_server options there may have been no or not all checks on the certificates. So you have successfully tested the SSL connection, but trouble may still lurk in the certificates... ;)

How can I send some thing back to the client from s_server to test whether
it can receive the data or not?

Type something into s_server?

Any help is appreciated.

Hope it helps.
