Description James Tappin 2000-09-14 13:00:44 UTC
(*** This bug was imported into bugs.kde.org ***)

Package: kdelibs
Version: CVS 20000912 (about)

System: Solaris 2.7 / Sparc (gcc 2.95/Solaris ld)

When I try to access an https page e.g.=20
https://secure.dabs.com/shopping/orderstatus.asp
I get an error pop-up saying:
"Could not connect to host=20
secure.dabs.com"

I have OpenSSL 0.9.5a installed and the kdelibs & kdebase configures=20
find it OK. In kcontrol personalisation->crypto shows a full list of=20
protocols.

The page given above opens successfully with konqueror on Linux and=20
with Netscape on Solaris.

I've posted this under kdelibs as I'm not sure if its kio or kssl that=20
has a problem (I can't see any way to put something under 2 packages).

James

   Try changing the ciphers to see if it'is a cipher related problem.  For
instance try forcing only SSLv2 or only SSLv3.  Also maybe try selecting
only certain ciphers such as RC4-MD5 based 128 bit algorithms.  It could be
an OpenSSL problem.  My Solaris box is too slow/small to run KDE to test
however I have found sites with Linux that give this result and it ended up
being cipher/ssl version related.

David F says he's fixed it.

Finally managed to do some more checks but still no joy.

1) I've now upgraded to OpenSSL 0.9.6

2) It seems that the following SSLv3 ciphers cause the cannot connect=20
messages:
EXP0124-RC4-SHA
ESP1024-DES-CBC-SHA
EXP1024-RC2-CBC-MD5
FZA-RC4-SHA
FZA-FZA-CBC-SHA
FZA-NULL-SHA
DH-RSA-DES-CBC3-SHA
DH-RSA-DES-CBC-SHA
EXP-DH-RSA-DES-CBC-SHA
DH-DSS-DES-CBC3-SHA
DH-DSS-DES-CBC-SHA
EXP-DH-DSS-DES-CBC-SHA
DES-CBC-SHA
EXP-RCS-CBC-MD5
EXP-RC4-MD5
NULL-SHA
NULL_MD5
And I think at least one other since disabling this list still gives=20
the error.

3) For all SSLv2 ciphers and for other SSLv3 ciphers I get an error=20
that "The process for the https://secure.dabs.com protocol died=20
unexpectedly". The following is the apparently relevant messages from=20
startkde.elog

   Turn on TLSv1 and this site will work.  They must have disabled SSLv2/v3
on their server.  We still do need to put in more tests for NULL or errors
though - to avoid crashes.
