The second handshake message in frame 18 (Certificate Request) has an empty
certificate_authorities record (shown as "Distinguished Names Length: 0" in
the dump). TLS v1.0 specifies that this record must contain at least 3
entries:
struct {
ClientCertificateType certificate_types<1..2^8-1>;
DistinguishedName certificate_authorities<3..2^16-1>;
} CertificateRequest;
I've come across implementations like this before, and one that didn't even
include anything in the certificate_types field. Surprisingly, there are
other implementations that just see the CertificateRequest and reply with
the Certificate, and things work even though it should result in a fatal
failure. IE will do client authentication with certificate_authorities
missing, but not with certificate_types also missing, even though "openssl
s_client" will successfully reply with it's client Certificate if both
fields are empty. Whichever component is sending the CertificateRequest is
not compilant with TLS v1.0.

Subject: TLS handshake failure: who's right?
Greetings Group Gurus,
I am trying to get a device that purportedly talks TLSv1 to connect to a
system running OpenSSL 0.9.6. After the ServerHelloDone the other device
reports:
No TLS session key in Client Key Exchange The SSL/TLS implementation
on said device (a VOIP phone) is of unknown pedigree; pretty sure it is NOT
OpenSSL. Can anyone shed any light on what might be going wrong? Following
is the complete ethereal dump (minus a certificate or two).
Many thanks.
