Hi girish, As I said I am no wizard in ssl internals :-( however what do you mean in negative flow ? do you refer ssl handshake failure ?
I am now trying using the libwww-perl with the SSLeay for client authentication against an apache server running mod_ssl (something like the s_server util) and it should work (alas it is for https connections) I think you should look at the SSleay.c code that comes with CRypt-SSleay-0.5.1 it is generated by the Ssleay.xs perl wrapper and should give you good idea on how things are done in a web application which should not be to hard to copy into any other server. Actually I need to learn that my self since I am now trying to enable ENGINE openssl concept in the perl library (so that one can use hardware keys for perl client authentication) Sorry for not being able to be more specific but this stuff is new for me too :-) Gilad -----Original Message----- From: Girish Hegde [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Monday, August 11, 2003 4:52 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED]; [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: RE: Configuring SSL Handshake Hi Gilad, First of all let me thank you for the kind positive response. Yes, I am using the SSLeay libraries for the handshake thing to be done, to test the positive flow. But by using those APIs i cannot do the testing for negtive flow, i started writing a TCP/IP server(non SSL) and tried to send the messages( like ServerHello, ServerHelloDone etc) mannually. I created the structures as defined in the SSL drafts in perl and tried to send them to the SSL Client. But it always says 1344:error:140770FC:SSL routines:SSL23_GET_SERVER_HELLO:unknown protocol:.\ssl\s23_clnt.c:475: I even tweeked into the ssl/s23_clnt.c code, which gave me no proper reason why is it failing :( I have also used the s_server.exe provided with Openssl to test some of the negative flows, but even that has no option to configure the handshake messages, like changing the sequence of messages, changing the format of messages, not sending some of the messages etc. I am not using HTTPS as it is not a web application! Can you pls let me know if i can do anything other than this to format the messages and send the same to the SSL client?
