SSL issues with puppet agent at openSUSE

I have a master running at my vps, and it has a simple helloworld manifest which works fine with any ubuntu machine I have. It connects, exchanges keys and creates test file allright, so I’m sure it’s not server issue. The agent which is running at a virtual machine with openSUSE says: err: Could not request certificate: SSL_connect returned=1 errno=0 state=SSLv3 read server certificate B: certificate verify failed. This is often because the time is [...]

Keytool import certificate fails “Public keys in reply and keystore don’t match”

I’m importing a SSL certificate to use in Tomcat in my keystore using keytool and it fails with “Public keys in reply and keystore don’t match” Problem might be declared by the fact that I created a new keystore after I accidentaly removed the old keystore file which I used from my CSR.

Ubuntu 12.04 and 12.10 don’t have new Thawte intermediary certs?

I recently swapped my sites SSL certificate over to a new Thawte 2048 bit cert. Ubuntu/libcurl doesn’t seem to be able to verify it. Web browsers and OSX is fine. I had to manually update the cert bundle on the OS from here: https://search.thawte.com/support/ssl-digital-certificates/index?page=content&actp=CROSSLINK&id=AR1374 Any ideas why Ubuntu doesn’t have these? Thank you Mark Asked by markba Instead of explicitly trusting the intermediate certificates, you should have your web server send the full certificate chain [...]

Port 80 is required due to circumstances out of my control. The other subdomains are also on port 80. Now, when all subdomains are enabled in Apache the SSL-subdomain is NOT running SSL. If I disable the other subdomains SSL on the SSL-subdomain [...]

Securing SSL requests with mod_cluster?

In case I have both the httpd and JBoss in secure LAN, is it possible to terminate SSL requests at httpd, and pass the request to available JBoss via mod_cluster? Any idea what configuration involved? Asked by SyRenity By default, mod_cluster will terminate your SSL connection and pass information to the backend un-encrypted. See http://docs.jboss.org/mod_cluster/1.0.0/html/UsingSSL.html for instructions. Note section 12.2 which shows the extra configuration required to use SSL between the proxy and the backend [...]
