javax.net.ssl.SSLHandshakeException: null cert chain

[josecelano]

I am trying to run this example but I get this message on ActiveMQ log:

2015-02-06 19:15:01,355 | WARN  | Transport Connection to: tcp://000.000.000.000:50277 failed: javax.net.ssl.SSLHandshakeException: null  cert chain | org.apache.activemq.broker.TransportConnection.Transport

Executing this command fron the client:

openssl s_client -connect 123.123.123.123:61612 -cert client.pem -showcerts

I get this output:

CONNECTED(00000003)

verify error:num=18:self signed certificate

I can connect well using stomp without SSL.

Hi Jose, have you followed the steps exactly or did you do something
differently? If so, could you please list the exact steps you took?

Alternatively, can you provide me with a reproducing example?

First I followed the steps exactly but later I did somethings differently becuase it did not work. I think the problem could be I am using a Stomp class that does not allow ssl connections, but I am not sure, still working on that, see:

dejanb/stomp-php#34

Hi Jose, while the standard version of stomp does support ssl, it is rather pointless since it doesn't verify the certificates and there's no way for the client to send a certificate for authentication. If you're following my tutorial, make sure you're using my fork of the stomp library.

Thanks @rethab, I did not realize that you are using a fork, I was using the original repository. I have notified the problem in the original repository dejanb/stomp-php#34

Now It seems to connect well but I get another error:

Fatal error: Uncaught exception 'FuseSource\Stomp\Exception\StompException' with message 'User name [] or password is invalid. No user for client certificate: CN=Activemq Client, OU=Org Unit Client, O=Org Client, L=City Client, ST=State Client, C=US' in D:\www\test\stomb\FuseSource\Stomp\Frame.php on line 57

I suppose this is a problem with the users.properties config file in ActiveMQ server, is not?

[josecelano]

The new problem is fixed:

users.properties previous file:

php-client=C=US, ST=State Client, L=City Client, O=Org Client, OU=Org Unit Client, CN=Activemq Client

users.properties new file:

php-client=CN=Activemq Client, OU=Org Unit Client, O=Org Client, L=City Client, ST=State Client, C=US

I thought certificate fields order do not matter.

Glat it works now.

I agree the documentation could more clearly stating that you need this fork.
