Issue in setting up SHA2 certificate with tomcat6 




Hi,
     I am trying to configure SHA2 algorithm certificates with tomcat6 in centos 6. I have created a keystore of format "JKS" using keytool and imported the certificate and intermediates to the keystore. When i restart the tomcat, logs do not show any kind of errors it starts up normally but when i try to connect to host from a browser it shows the following error

my system configuration

OS : centos
tomcat 6
java1.7.x

In chrome
Version 39.0.2171.71 (64-bit)

SSL connection error
Hide detailsUnable to make a secure connection to the server. This may be a problem with the server, or it may be requiring a client authentication certificate that you don't have.
Error code: ERR_SSL_PROTOCOL_ERROR


In firefox it shows
Cannot communicate securely with peer: no common encryption algorithm(s). (Error code: ssl_error_no_cypher_overlap)

tomcat configuration for the certificate in server.xml
<Connector port="8443" maxHttpHeaderSize="8192" maxThreads="150" minSpareThreads="25"
                maxSpareThreads="75" enableLookups="false" disableUploadTimeout="true"
                acceptCount="100" scheme="https" secure="true" SSLEnabled="true"
                keystoreFile="/etc/tomcat6/xxxxx.jks"
                keystorePass="xxxxxx"
                clientAuth="false"  sslEnabledProtocols="TLSv1, TLSv1.1, TLSv1.2" />

When i change the tomcat keystore with another certificates of SHA1 algorithm everything works fine.

Thanks
Pavan

Specifically, which Tomcat version are you using?

So the only difference is SHA1 versus SHA2 hash on the certificate?

Java 1.7 handles both of those without a problem.

Can you try connecting to your server using OpenSSL's s_client program?

$ openssl s_client -connect hostname:443
CONNECTED(00000003)

^C

At the bottom, you can see the connection information that was
negotiated with the server. s_client has options to allow you to set
the protocol(s) supported, the cipher(s) supported, etc. Perhaps you
can narrow-down the problem.
