Hi Henrik,

As best I can tell it all works quite nicely.  Thank you so much for your efforts!

Hi,

this problem ties in with another issue reported recently with Xymon not compiling with the upcoming OpenSSL 1.1 release.

Could you try the attached patch? This extends the current https2/https3/httpst so you can now use: httpsa for TLS 1.0, httpsb for TLS 1.1 and httpsc for TLS 1.2.

Anyone else using the specific SSL/TLS protocols, please feel free to try this patch. It changes the way protocol selection is done (using some different API calls), so any breakage would be nice to have reported as soon as possible.

Also, the sslcert tests will no longer report the possible encryption protocols - only the one that is actually used.



Regards,

Henrik

Hi Henrik,

It is.  Specifically I use this:

openssl s_client -connect xymon:443 -tls1 2>/dev/null | grep Renegotiation
Secure Renegotiation IS NOT supported

openssl s_client -connect xymon:443 -tls1_1 2>/dev/null | grep Renegotiation
Secure Renegotiation IS NOT supported

openssl s_client -connect xymon:443 -tls1_2 2>/dev/null | grep Renegotiation
Secure Renegotiation IS supported

This is what xymon logs in xymonnet.log which you can also see alerting for the xymonnet column on the web page:

2016-06-07 14:09:53.879678 Unspecified SSL error in SSL_connect to https (47873/tcp) on host my.ip_1.goes.here: error:1409442E:SSL routines:SSL3_READ_BYTES:tlsv1 alert protocol version
2016-06-07 14:14:41.970374 Unspecified SSL error in SSL_connect to https (47873/tcp) on host my.ip_2.goes.here: error:1409442E:SSL routines:SSL3_READ_BYTES:tlsv1 alert protocol version

This is Mark’s post:

My guess is, Xymon doesn’t properly support the minor versions of TLS?

Hi David,

Xymon uses the openssl library on the Xymon server to do SSL/TLS. So the most basic of tests would be to run "openssl s_client -connect xymon1.domain.com:443" to see if your OpenSSL library supports the necessary protocols.

Note that you may have multiple versions of OpenSSL installed, so to be 100% sure check the version of OpenSSL that Xymon uses: "xymonnet --version" will tell you which OpenSSL version it was compiled with, and "ldd ~xymon/server/bin/xymonnet" will show you (on Linux, at least) what the actual library is that is used by xymonnet.


Regards,
Henrik

Mark Felder,

Mentioned last year around April 17th, 2015 where Xymon support for TLS v1.1 and v1.2 may be lacking.  Perhaps the issue is more my naiveté but does anyone know how I can get the sslcert and http tests to work correctly with Apache and Xymon.

The sslcert test goes purple.

Os: Red Hat Enterprise Linux Server release 7.2 (Maipo)
Openssl: OpenSSL 1.0.1e-fips 11 Feb 2013
Xymon:  4.3.26
