[users@httpd] Errors with ssl and firefox (IE is fine)

[Michael Smith]

I've previously sent this to the mod_ssl and openssl lists with no success.  Sorry if you've seen it before:

I have apache 1.3.34 compiled on solaris with sun cc with mod_ssl- 2.8.25-1.3.34 and openssl-0.9.8a (I've also tried 0.9.7i and the nightly build).  I've also tried apache2.0 with similar results.

When accessing the site using Internet Explorer I have no problems.  With Firefox the browser reports an 'incorrect Message Authentication Code' and the server logs report:

[Mon Jan 23 13:13:54 2006] [error] mod_ssl: SSL handshake failed (server xxx:443, client xxx) (OpenSSL library error follows)
[Mon Jan 23 13:13:54 2006] [error] OpenSSL: error:1408F455:SSL routines:SSL3_GET_RECORD:decryption failed or bad record mac

I do have previous very old builds that 'work' ... but have been unable to determine precisely what version change initiated this problem.

Any suggestions much appreciated

Thank you
