Hi there, I'm new on this list. I'm a computer science student and I'm trying to write an application that models the client-server schema. After writing a server in C using select() (a multiplexed server) and a java client that interacts with more of this java clients succesfully, I decided to secure the conection. Problem was that with 'netcat' I was able to read all the data passed by from the server to the others clients.
Before trying to use openssl on the server, the results were ok and the whole thing worked like a charm. Now, after reading "the definitive guide to Linux Network Programming" and a couple of tutorial, I decided to secure the conection using openssl. I have the examples of the book I've mentioned and with clients wrote in C the thing goes ok. But, when I try to use a java client I can't establish a connection. I always fail on SSL_accept() (using BIO or not it's the same result) with error code from ERR_get_errors() number 5, with I assume that is SSL_ERROR_SYSCALL as "openssl/ssl.h" file said so. The 'ret' parameter es equals to 0. Can anyone guide/tell me if what I want to do is really possible? I think so, but I'm not a Java master so I think the problem is out there, in the java code. I try finding an openSSL for java, but all I found was outdated packages, as javassl, and itissl. Also, java does not support SSLv2 because I got that exception. So I set SSLv3_server_method() as method. I followed a couple of examples out there on the web on how to connect to an SSL server and all say almost the same as: SSLSocketFactory s = (SSLSocketFactory) SSLSocketFactory.getDefault(); Socket ns = s.createSocket(host, port); I hope someone can at least help a little, Thanks in advance for your time -- Sebastián Treu http://labombiya.com.ar ______________________________________________________________________ OpenSSL Project http://www.openssl.org User Support Mailing List openssl-users@openssl.org Automated List Manager majord...@openssl.org
