Configuring https using http_client protocol

[chrisblake]

Hello,

      I am hoping that somebody will be able to help me here. I am attempting to create an SSL connection in Cloverleaf. I am using the http-client protocol and believe i need to use the ClientAuth mode. The web site that i’m trying to connect to, provide scripts in vbs and i can get these working fine. I expect that IE however is handling the certificate handover etc behind the scenes. Network restrictions stop us from using the vbs or curl scripts so we need cloverleaf/tcl to do everything.

I believe i have a valid .pem file from the web server. I have attempted to create my own certificate using openssl, but not really knowing too much about certificates not sure everything is correct. The actions i performed are…

1 – create a 1024-bit private key to use when creating our CA.:

openssl genrsa -des3 -out keys/ca.key 1024

2 – create a master certificate based on this key

openssl req -config openssl.conf -new -x509 -days 1001 -key keys/ca.key -out certs/ca.cer

I then used these two files as the Private key file and the certificate file.

I therefore have configured for https…

CA FILE – the .pem file from the web server

CA PATH – previously advised to leave blank

Certficate File – my certificate from step 2 above

Private Key – my private key file from step 1 above

Password – My passphrase from step 1 above.

When i run this thread i get the following error in the process log…

[ssl :read:ERR /0:http_client_Query] ===Failed writing to SSL Socket handle 0x0018

Data not received.   Socket Will Be Closed…
