FTPSClient - SSL Received fatal alert: bad_record_mac

I am trying to connect to an out of network server using org.apache.commons.net.ftp.FTPSClient
and trying to upload a file.
The code works correctly when i execute it from localhost but throws the following exception from prod server.

     at org.apache.commons.net.SocketClient.connect(SocketClient.java:178)
Code
FTPClient ftp = new FTPSClient("SSL")
     ftp.connect(server, 21);
               reply = ftp.getReplyCode();
               if (!FTPReply.isPositiveCompletion(reply)) {
                    ftp.disconnect();
                    log.debug("FTP server refused connection.");
                    return;
               //ftp.enterRemotePassiveMode();
               ftp.enterLocalPassiveMode();
               ftp.login(username, password);
======================
Any suggestions why would it work from my localhost and not from the server.
Could it be a firewall issue or do i need to user a certificate?

The FTP server sent you an alert saying that it received a bad_record_MAC from you, i.e. the client.
So there is something wrong with the client you used when it failed, or the underlying version of JSSE. Are the versions of Java the same in both cases?

}The line at at org.tockit.comunication.ServerThread.run(ServerThread.java:55) is marked with ERRRROOOOOORRRRR and serverThread cod is posted on the fisrt reply post.
All this code works in absence of SSL (regular sockets).
I have another question related to the SSLSockets in the method of the serverThread, will my SSLSockets in the serverThread´s methods work to comunicate with other servers as i try to do?
Thanks!

And this is a method like the ones i asked on #1, sorry about this but i cant post more than 7500 characters

Https Issue:SSLHandshakeException:Received fatal alert:bad_certificate

hi experts,
My scenario is Proxy to AS2. In AS2 receiver I have https protocol. I have put SSL Certificate(keystore) value.
Let say
View- x
Certificate name- cer
then I have given
TRUSTED\x\cer
in SSL Certificate(keystore) field of AS2 receiver channel.
Let me know weather it is correct.
Second field in Communication channel is "Private key for Client Authentication". I have kept it as blank.
I am getting an error in AS2 Receiver Channel saying:-
Message processing failed. Cause: javax.resource.ResourceException: Fatal exception: com.sap.aii.af.ra.cci.XIRecoverableException: SEEBURGER AS2: javax.net.ssl.SSLHandshakeException: Received fatal alert: bad_certificate # , SEEBURGER AS2: javax.net.ssl.SSLHandshakeException: Received fatal alert: bad_certificate #
My certificate has not expired yet.
Please help me in this matter.

Sorry for not to be clearer and not to use formatting tips (I didn�t know about it) and finally sorry for my bad English!!
As regards the errors:
[LocationServlet] Error: javax.net.ssl.SSLHandshakeException: Received fatal alert: handshake_failure : com.deimos.dat.servlet.LocationServlet.processRequest(LocationServlet.java:397)
It appears when the servlet try to getInputStream from the HttpsUrlConnection because the handshake hasn�t been done properly.
        BufferedReader in = new BufferedReader(

             urlConn.getInputStream())
        Thanks in advance!!

Client Auth failure:SSLException Received fatal alert: bad_certificate

Friends,
I have managed to establish a one -way https connection between the client and the tomcat-server by keeping the client-Authentication=false
<Connector
enableLookups="true"
port="8443"
scheme="https"
secure="true"
maxProcessors="75"
debug="0"
clientAuth="false"
keystorePass="arps3241"
keystoreFile="/usr/local/tomcat/bin/arps-dev.keystore"
className="org.apache.coyote.tomcat5.CoyoteConnector"
          minProcessors="5"
sslProtocol="TLS">
</Connector>
. However , when i switch- 'on' the client-Authetication parameter i.e.clientAuth="true" in the server.xml for 2 way trust, I get the following error :-

The server's truststore doesn't trust or possibly even recognize the client's certificate which came from the client's keystore.

I am making a "secure" chat server that has some simple functionality.

So next I want to set up my client. The professor said that it's fine to just give the clients all self-signed certs, so I ran:
keytool -genkey -alias client1 -keyalg RSA -keystore c1keystore -storepass client1 -keypass client1 -dname "o=jhu, cn=Client 1"
I assumed that I need to add the Thawte Root CA Cert to this keystore as well since I'm doing client authentication:
keytool -import -v -file ../server/thawtecert.txt -trustcacerts -keystore c1keystore -storepass client1
I start up the server, and then I attempt to connect with the client with these options:
-Djavax.net.ssl.trustStore=server/serverstore
-Djavax.net.ssl.keyStore=client/c1keystore
-Djavax.net.ssl.keyStorePassword=client1
Now when I attempt to connect to the server and write to the buffer, I get this error on the client side:
javax.net.ssl.SSLHandshakeException: Received fatal alert: bad_certificate
And this error on the server side:
javax.net.ssl.SSLException: Connection has been shutdown: javax.net.ssl.SSLHandshakeException: null cert chain
If I connect to the server with these options, I connect fine:
-Djavax.net.ssl.trustStore=server/serverstore
-Djavax.net.ssl.keyStore=server/serverstore
-Djavax.net.ssl.keyStorePassword=server
I assume this means that I have done something very wrong creating the client's keystore. Does anyone know how I'm supposed to create it?

Hi ,
Even i get the same error . Although ,I imported the contents of my self-signed certificate into the truststore of tomcat i.e.cacerts file of jre/lib/security (in tomcat) , I get the following error:-
Tomcat does not seem to accept the client's certitficate.
Also , Incase if i use a standalone Java application to connect to a tomcat application , I get the same error? Any idea as to how does tomcat server authenticate the client from a standalone Java application .

CA-Signed certificate: Received fatal alert: bad_certificate

Hello. I am still trying to get rmi ssl to work in the way I want (see my post http://forums.sun.com/thread.jspa?threadID=5351278&tstart=15 ).
I read that CA signed certificates are preferred to self signed certificates due to several reasons. Due to the fact, that I want to run a lot of different services, each with an own certificate, it is out of question to let them be signed by a real CA (for now all is in a testing environment and once I have solved all the problems this might become an option).
So for now, I create my own certificate authority and sign the certificates for my services (who interact with each other via ssl).
If there is a flaw in my setup, please tell me. If not continue reading.
In my scenario, a service A is querying a server S to discover a service B. S sends all the information about B back to A, including the certificate of B (so A can use ssl to talk to B). I use client authentication.
Each component uses a keystore, which acts as a truststore at the same time.
When I use self signed certificates and import them to the other keystores (using keytool) everything works as it should.
My setup using ca-signed certificates fails.
At the beginning the server has all the certificates in his keystore (A & B & S, which were signed with the servers secret key, who acts as my CA). A contains the servers certificate and his own, which has been signed with the servers private key (A &S). B contains the servers certificate and his own, which has been signed with the servers private key (B & S).
As far as I understand ssl, if A wants to talk to B, it needs the certificate of B (and needs to trust it).
In my scenario, A is receiving the certificate of B, when it queries the server for information about B. The certificate is imported into As keystore (works), but the method call fails with:
javax.net.ssl.SSLHandshakeException: Received fatal alert: bad_certificate
Is rmi ssl creating and using selfsigned certificates from the private keys in the keystore? Maybe I made a mistake, but I don't see it.
A has a certificate of B (and trusts it, because it was signed by an authority whose certificate is trusted from the beginning). B should trust the certificate of A (because it was signed by the same authority). So why is there a bad certificate?
My guess is, in the ssl handshake, A is using his private key to create a self signed certificate and is sending this to B. B has no reason of trusting a self-signed certificate and the handshake fails.
If you have any ideas, I appreciate them a lot.

Each component uses a keystore, which acts as a truststore at the same time.That's a really bad idea. They serve completely different purposes. Don't do that.Ok, I will change that. So the trust store is used for certificates I trust (which then can be used by ssl), the keystore is used to store secret keys or if I want to do "cryptography by hand".
As far as I understand ssl, if A wants to talk to B, it needs the certificate of B (and needs to trust it).That's true if B is a server. If A is the server in this scenario it is B that needs to trust A.
In my scenario, A is receiving the certificate of B, when it queries the server for information about B. The certificate is imported into As keystore (works)Should be truststoreI will change that it's only imported into the trust store (-> will do the separation of trust/key store).
but the method call fails with:
javax.net.ssl.SSLHandshakeException: Received fatal alert: bad_certificateSo there is something wrong with the certificate that B sent.Yes, but I don't know why. I created a certificate signing request (csr) for B (using keytool) and then used openssl to create the certificate. When I use a private key and openssl to create a selfsigned certificate e.g. create csr for B, export private key of B, use openssl to create the certificate with the private key of B), it has the same checksum as a self signed certificate using keytool.
The trust store of B contains the CA signed certificate of B and the CA certificate. I don't understand why it is a "bad certificate".
Maybe separating key and trust store will solve the problem or give some new hints.
Is rmi ssl creating and using selfsigned certificates from the private keys in the keystore?No. SSL doesn't generate certificates at all. You do. SSL just looks in the keystore for a certificate to send that matches what the peer will accept, and sending that.
So maybe the CA cert is used for it, which would be fault. I'm going to check that.
A has a certificate of B (and trusts it, because it was signed by an authority whose certificate is trusted from the beginning). B should trust the certificate of A (because it was signed by the same authority).> A and B don't need mutual trust unless you have needClientAuth set 'true' somewhere, which you haven't mentioned.I mentioned it, but it came to my mind at the end of my post, so it's kind of hidden in the text. So, I do use client authentication.> > My guess is, in the ssl handshake, A is using his private key to create a self signed certificate> No. See above.> > and is sending this to B. B has no reason of trusting a self-signed certificate and the handshake fails.> No. There is something wrong with the certificate that was received by the side that first got the bad_certificate alert.Thanks a lot. I see several things clearer now.

SSLHandshakeException: Received fatal alert :handshake_failure

Hola forum,
I'm having a bit of a problem with ssl sockets currently. Please bear with me as this is my first run at using ssl sockets for anything and I've done a fair bit of searching on google already.
Here's the code I'm using:
(kindly ignore any typos as they are the result of having to manually type the code in - the code resides on a seperate system).
int port = 443;
String hostname = "hostname";
TrustManager[] trustAllCerts = new TrustManager[]{
   new X509TrustManager(){
      public void checkClientTrusted(X509Certificate[] arg0, String arg1) throws CertificateExcpetion{}
      public void checkServerTrusted(X509Certificate[] arg0, String arg1) throws CertificateException{}
      public X509Certificate[] getAcceptedIssuers(){
          return new X509Certificate[0];
SSLContext sslContext = SSLContext.getInstance("SSL");
sslContext.init(null, trustAllCerts, new SecureRandom());
SSLSocketFactory factory = sslContext.getSocketFactory();
SSLSocket socket = (SSLSocket)factory.getSocketFactory(hostname, port);
socket.setUseClientMode9true);
socket.startHandshake();
...this throws the following exception from startHandshake():
javax.net.ssl.SSLHandhakeException: Received fatal alert: handshake_failure

      at testcode.main(testcode.java 62)Any insight? I would be most appreciative. Thanks!

ejp thanks for the reply - unfortunately I have 0 control over the server that I am attempting to establish a connection to and I don't think I can get them to do much of anything (just getting their server certificate was some work).
Could this exception be caused by the server requiring client validation? I checked the various socket settings (forget the property names) but none of them indicated that client validation was required.
Let me know if just the debug on the client side would be helpful and I'll type it in.
--edit, alright here are what I think the relevant parts of the debugging info from the client side(bear with me as this has to be hand transcribed-). Please let me know if more is needed-

Trying to connect RMI SSL Client with RMI non-SSL Server with and getting following exception. How should i check SSLHandShakeException's fatal alert certificate_unknown in the code ? Also I am setting SSL properties(keystore, truststore, passwords) using System.setPropertiy()

Webcenter Spaces Events Service configuration: FATAL Alert BAD CERTIFICATE

Hello,
I have a simple requirement to connect the events taskflow from an exchange server that is https and has a confirmed security certificate. I use the wsdl path for the events service and add it to my webcenter spaces service configuration -> Personal Events configuration.
Then I ran into this error.
javax.net.ssl.SSLKeyException: FATAL Alert:BAD_CERTIFICATE - A corrupt or unuseable certificate was received.
So, I downloaded the .crt file from Chrome (in per format) and used the keytool to upload the certificate exception into the cacerts file inside jdk and jrocket folders. I restart the managed server running WebCenter Spaces. This had no effect on the error.
Is there anything else that I should do?
Thanks,
Pradyumna

I have the same problem. Did You resolve it?

Why get "fatal alert: bad_certificate" but "certificate_expired"

Hi all,
I am testing 2 way SSL authentication now.
Expected Result:
When the client side provides a expired client cert to the server during handshaking, the server is supposed to return fatal alert: certificate_expired, which is exactly the client side wanna receive.
Acturally Result:
At first, I test server side with Tomcat, but the coming out result is that server will reject the connection with fatal alert: certificate_unknown.
Then, I try Weblogic. From Weblogic, I can see the warn:
<Nov 16, 2007 3:31:01 PM GMT+08:00>
<Warning><Security><BEA-090479>
<Certificate chain received from 206.225.50.35 - 206.225.50.35 failed date validity checks.>
But the client side will receive fatal alert : bad_certificate.
Any solution to get the expected response from server with fatal alert: certificate_expired?
Your help are appreciated!

Got SSLKeyException:FATAL Alert:BAD_CERTIFICATE using weblogic ws test tool

Hi,
Iam trying to test the webservices using the WebLogic Webservice standard testing home page. The services work fine without SSL, but if the server is setup to use SSL, I get a BAD CERTIFICATE exception using the testing home page.
Although, when I invoke the services through a different SOAP client they do work with SSL turned on provided I import the trusted ca (using my own certificate authority) to java cacerts file.
I set up the custom trust and identity keystores and Iam using my own trusted authority. Configured the SSL as detailed in
http://e-docs.bea.com/wls/docs81/secmanage/ssl.html
Is this a bug related to WebLogic Webservice testing home page or am I missing something. Any help will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
Veena.

Thank You Prasanna for your response.
I converted the trusted CA cert to PEM format and copied it to the domain directory and restarted the weblogic server after setting the following properties weblogic.webservice.client.ssl.strictcertchecking=false
weblogic.security.SSL.ignoreHostnameVerification=true
But, Iam still getting the BAD certificate exception.
Thanks

FATAL Alert:HANDSHAKE_FAILURE

Hi I have been sucessfully using a URLConnection to talk https to a web server via a proxy until migrating the code to the weblogic 8.1 server. I keep getting the follwoing error:
javax.net.ssl.SSLHandshakeException: FATAL Alert:HANDSHAKE_FAILURE - The
handshake handler was unable to negotiate an acceptable set of security
parameters.

Is there anything to do with the weblogi security policy? Any suggestion or advice is appreciated.
Thanks,

This looks like a bug. I'd open a support case.

"security parameters" here refers to the SSL handshake parameters.
It might be that the client and the server could not agree on the cipher
algorithm.
Try running with the SSL debug on, this should output more information:
-Dssl.debug=true -Dweblogic.StdoutDebugEnabled=true
