wso2 uses an unsupported protocol - amazon-ec2

I have set up an WSO2 Identity server in an EC2 instance. I have mapped the carbon.xml entries to this EC2 instance. The WSO2 server is starting up in that IP without any errors.But when i access it , i get a strange SSL error .ideally SSL warning should be coming since i am using WSO2 provided certificates itself and i can go on bypassing it.This is for sample environment so i am not planning to buy certificates
But this error is totally different and there is no way to bypass it.
The error in chrome says
50.200.189.207 uses an unsupported protocol.
ERR_SSL_VERSION_OR_CIPHER_MISMATCH
Unsupported protocol
The client and server don't support a common SSL protocol version or cipher suite.
I am unable to get rid of this.What could be the cause?

Some environments may have (mis)configured already unsupported ciphers (I had this issue on AWS Linux with OpenJDK as well, not on CentOS with Oracle JDK).
I suggest you to read WSO2 CARBON Configuring TLS
long story short:
open $WSO2IS/repository/conf/tomcat/catalina-server.xml
Locate Connector for TLS (port 9443 with sslEnabledProtocols="TLSv1,TLSv1.1,TLSv1.2" )
add property: ciphers="TLS_ECDHE_ECDSA_WITH_AES_128_CBC_SHA256,TLS_ECDHE_RSA_WITH_AES_128_CBC_SHA256,TLS_DHE_RSA_WITH_AES_128_CBC_SHA256,TLS_ECDHE_ECDSA_WITH_AES_128_CBC_SHA,TLS_ECDHE_RSA_WITH_AES_128_CBC_SHA,TLS_DHE_RSA_WITH_AES_128_CBC_SHA,TLS_ECDHE_ECDSA_WITH_AES_128_GCM_SHA256,TLS_ECDHE_RSA_WITH_AES_128_GCM_SHA256,TLS_DHE_RSA_WITH_AES_128_GCM_SHA256"
note: please read the documentation for exact values of the cipher property
And indeed, Oracle JDK is recommended for WSO2 products (as noted in the comments), the JDK vendors may differ in supported ciphers
If it doesn't work, let me know, I will post exactly what I've used for other projects

SSL/TLS Handshake error while calling Azure Vision API

I have a spring boot based microservice in which I am using Microsoft Azure Computer Vision API to read data from a PDF file. After containerizing the microservice, the container works fine and I am able to send/receive data to/from Computer Vision API on my machine. But, when I run this container on an Azure based Linux Virtual Machine, the container cannot communicate with the Computer Vision API and throws exception java.lang.RuntimeException: javax.net.ssl.SSLKeyException: RSA premaster secret error. Also, the spring-boot jar is able to communicate with Azure on VM and throws no such exception.
Do you think I need to pass any self-signed certificate to the container for it to be able to communicate smoothly?
I think the biggest advantage of using these containers is that it makes the code platform independent. So, why is this error thrown only on Azure VM and runs completely fine on my machine? Please advise.
java.lang.RuntimeException: javax.net.ssl.SSLKeyException: RSA premaster secret error
On local computer was working fine but when run the container on Azure Linux VM it is not working so there might be compatibility issue between Linux VM and Java JRE’s.
Based on above error the solution is Just remove the updated java version from your server Classpath and try to install the old java version
Please refer this link had the same discussion over here related to above error : https://community.oracle.com/tech/developers/discussion/1533888/another-rsa-premaster-secret-error
Second, try to set the SSL/TLS parameters in the java panel because An SSL certificate is a bit of code on your web server that provides security for online communications. When a web browser contacts your secured website, the SSL certificate enables an encrypted connection. It's kind of like sealing a letter in an envelope before sending it through the mail.
Supported SSL/TLS versions by JDK version
I was able to find out what the error was. There was nothing wrong with the JDK/JRE setup. The issue arose due to the version of docker engine installed on the Azure VM.
Azure based computer vision APIs required server to be TLS1.2 compliant, whereas the version of the docker engine installed on my machine was older and did not support TLS1.2. I was able to fix it after upgrading the docker engine to the latest version.

How to configure nginx/openresty to trust windows certificate store

Similar to SSL enabling in Tomcat Windows server question, how do I configure NGINX/OpenResty to use/trust Windows certificate store (especially the authorities)?
One option is to use some kind of NGINX plugin based on NSS (Network Security Services). I've actually found a repository for it here, but no sure I can use it.
Are there any other solutions?

TLS version: HttpClient only working when the security policy is set to tls 1.1

I've got a windows forms app which is deployed through click once. The app was build with .net 4.7.2 and it uses the HttpClient API to access a couple of rest web services, which are hosted on an internal server. As you might expect, the services can only be accessed through HTTPS and the server is configured to suppport all TLS versions (btw, this is a 2016 windows server).
The intranet client app (ie, the windows forms app) is deployed across several internal sub-networks and everything is working well with the exception of a single PC (which belongs to a specific subnetwork - it's the only PC that is using this particular app). This PC will only be able to consume the services when the HttpClient is configured to use TLS 1.1.
Since we're using internal certificates (we have an internal certificate authority for our AD), I've already checked and the certificate with the public key of the entity is already present on the trusted certificate authorities container of the computer where the secure session can't be established through TLS 1.2.
The PC is running Windows 10 Pro (latest version), so it should support TLS 1.2. I've tried emulating the requests from Fiddler and the truth is that I'll only get the results when I configure it to use TLS 1.1.
Without setting the protocol to TLS 1.1, I can see that Fiddler says that the handshake hasn't been established and the service is never "executed".
Now, according to what I've read, I shouldn't have been getting any problems with the code. In fact, I shouldn't have to specify the TLS version (it looks like Windows 10 Pro has out of the box support for TLS 1.2 and that should be the default for WIndows 10. Since I'm using .NET 4.7.2, it should automatically use the system's default protocol), but the truth is that only using tls 1.1 (not tls 1.2!) allows for the secure channel to be established.
I've tried running the code in other machines and everything works out as expected (I can establish the secure channel with tls 1.1 or tls 1.2 or even let it use the system's default protocol).
Since I'm not really a network guy, can anyone point me in the right direction? Do you guys think this can be caused by a firewall? Any ideas?
I mean, it looks like the PC recognizes the certificate used in HTTPS session (if that wasn't the case, then I wouldn't be able to use TLS 1.1, right?), but it seems like there's something in the way that won't let me use TLS 1.2...
Thanks.

Check our official guidance for TLS: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/framework/network-programming/tls
If it is one machine problem, I would recommend to create a simple HelloWorld app doing simple request, targeting the same .NET Framework (4.7.2) and then test that on the specific machine vs. other machines. That will tell you for sure if the problem is in your app or in machine/network settings.

Connecting to kafka restproxy (confluent) on HTTP

I'm currently working on a project that requires connecting to oracle eventhub which is a Oracle's version of kafka. The systems contacting the restproxy wouldnt accept the self signed certificate hence i'm trying to do either :
1- turn off https and allow for http connections to kafka
2- import a signed certificate i generated
unfortunately i cant locate the certificate store neither do i know how to or even if it is possible to have the rest proxy run on http
The solution was more simple than i thought, obviously Oracle Eventhub rest-proxy uses nginx for service exposure, few modifications to the configuration file and i was able to both remove https and allow for a certificate that i had issued

Unable to add SSL support for database

I am using Spring3, Hibernate4 and postgres9.2.
For enabling the SSL database connection, I followed following steps :
Creating self signed Certificate : refer : http://www.postgresql.org/docs/9.2/static/ssl-tcp.html#SSL-CERTIFICATE-CREATION
Copied the generated server.crt and server.key into postgres/9.2/data folder.
URL for hibernate connection : jdbc:postgresql://localhost:5432/DB_NAME?ssl=true&sslfactory=org.postgresql.ssl.NonValidatingFactory
After restarting the postgres I run my application and it gives error as :
org.postgresql.util.PSQLException: The server does not support SSL.

Even I tried to add this line at the end of pg_hba.conf file but postgres does not get restarted :
hostssl all all 127.0.0.1/32 trust
EDIT
It is for other folks who received such error or wants to add database ssl connection :
I added ssl = true and removed comments for ssl related entries from postgresql.conf and it worked. :)
The root of your problem appears to be that your server does not support SSL or does not have it enabled. The message:
The server does not support SSL
may only be emitted by org/postgresql/core/v3/ConnectionFactoryImpl.java in enableSSL(...) when the server refuses or doesn't understand SSL requests.
Sure enough, in your update you say that you had the SSL-related options in postgresql.conf commented out. Them being commented out is the same as them being not there at all to the server; it will ignore them. This will cause the server to say it doesn't support SSL and refuse SSL connections because it doesn't know what server certificate to send. PgJDBC will report the error above when this happens.
When you un-commented the SSL options in postgresql.conf and re-started the server it started working.
You were probably confused by the fact that:
&ssl
&ssl=true
&ssl=false
all do the same thing: they enable SSL. Yes, that's kind of crazy. It's like that for historical reasons that we're stuck with, but it's clearly documented in the JDBC driver parameter reference:
ssl
Connect using SSL. The driver must have been compiled with SSL
support. This property does not need a value associated with it. The
mere presence of it specifies a SSL connection. However, for
compatibility with future versions, the value "true" is preferred. For
more information see Chapter 4, Using SSL.
As you can see, you should still write ssl=true since this may change in future.
Reading the server configuration and client configuration sections of the manual will help you with setting up the certificates and installing the certificate in your local certificate list so you don't have to disable certificate trust checking.
For anyone else with this problem: There will be more details in your PostgreSQL error logs, but my guess is your PostgreSQL config isn't right or you're using a hand-compiled PostgreSQL and you didn't compile it with SSL support.
If you are using a self-signed certificate you need to add it to your trusted key store of your Java installation on the client side.
You find the detailed instructions to achieve this here: telling java to accept self-signed ssl certificate
In your connection string, try
?sslmode=require
instead of
?ssl=true
Use param sslmode=disable. Work for me. Postgresql 9.5 with jdbc driver SlickPostgresDriver.
