Hello, I'm struggling to get an SSL connection established between a server and a client of mine using a self-signed certificate. The SSL handshake fails but I can't seem to find out why. Here's what I did:
For the server: 1) I generated a key and certificate. 2) I've set them to the socket like this: socket->setPrivateKey(keyFile); socket->setLocalCertificate(certificateFile); 3) I call QSslSocket::startServerEncryption to get the handshake rolling. For the client: 1) I used the server's certificate and loaded it (verified it loads properly). 2) I set it to the socket with QSslSocket::addCaCertificate. 3) I call QSslSocket::startClientEncryption. The problem is the client drops the connection with QAbstractSocket::SslHandshakeFailedError, however I get nothing from the QSslSocket::sslErrors signal (also nada from the method). I observed, however, that the client socket raises the QSslSocket::preSharedKeyAuthenticationRequired for some reason. As I don't really handle this one (only debug output) I imagine this is the reason the handshake fails. Nonetheless, I thought a PSK authentication shouldn't be required whenever I provide a key and a certificate server-side. Any ideas why is this failing and how to solve it? Thanks in advance! Kind regards.
