I deliberately caused TLS set up errors, and noted the symptoms.  Ive recorded them below; the article is not meant to be read, but indexed by search engines.

There are three sections

1. Problems with server certificates
2. Problems with the client certificate
3. Chrome messages, and possible causes of the problems.

The mqweb messages.log reported problems that the mqweb server saw.   For me this was in file /var/mqm/web/installations/Installation1/servers/mqweb/logs/messages.log

Problems with the server certificate

Problem: mqwebuser.xml serverKeyAlias name not in the keystore

This can be caused by the certificate being in the keyring but not visible, or cannot be validated.

The RACF command RACDCERT LISTRING(KEYRING) ID(IZUSVR) will list the contents of the keyring. For example it gives ZZZZ ID(START1).  You can then use

RACDCERT LIST(LABEL(‘ZZZZ’ )) ID(START1).   This gives output including

Status: TRUST
Start Date: 2020/12/17 00:00:00
End Date: 2021/12/17 23:59:59

Check it has STATUS:TRUST and the dates are valid.  If you make a change, check it afterwards.  Several times I got the change wrong!

Check the CA for the certificate is in the keystore; you need the key, and the CA in the keystore.

Debugging

• I could find nothing that told me what certificate was being used.  The Chrome network trace just gave “net_error = -100 (ERR_CONNECTION_CLOSED)“.
• Use certutil -L $sql  to list the contents of your browsers keystore.   The certificate needs “P,…” permissions.
•  Or use the chrome url chrome://settings/certificates  and display “your certificates”. Pick the likely one, if it says “UNTRUSTED” then this may be the problem.   View the certificate, and check it, for example under details, there may be a comment describing its use.
•  Defined the server certificate as trusted using certutil -M $sql -n name -t “P,,” 
• Restart the web browser.

Problem: The  CA signer server certificate had the wrong subjectAltName

curl:

* subjectAltName does not match 127.0.0.1
* SSL: no alternative certificate subject name matches target host name ‘127.0.0.1’

Chrome:

NET::ERR_CERT_COMMON_NAME_INVALID
From the “Not Secure” in front of the URL, display the certificate, and check the extenstions, especially Certificate Subject Alternative Names.

Chrome log:

ERROR:ssl_client_socket_impl.cc(935)] handshake failed; returned -1, SSL error code 1, net_error -200
From here -200 is  CERT_INVALID

Problems with the server ca certificate

Problem: The trust store has an expired CA.

curl:

* gnutls_handshake() failed: The TLS connection was non-properly terminated.
…
pycurl.error: (35, ‘gnutls_handshake() failed: The TLS connection was non-properly terminated.’)

Problems with the client certificate

Problem: There is no suitable certificate in the client keystore.

For example

1. There are no “Your certificates” in the browsers keystore
2. There is a certificate, but has a CA which was not passed down from the server trust keystore
3. As part of the TLS handshake any self signed certificates are read from the server trust keystore and sent down.  None were found in the “Your certificates”

Curl:

• * gnutls_handshake() failed: The TLS connection was non-properly terminated.
• pycurl.error: (35, ‘gnutls_handshake() failed: The TLS connection was non-properly terminated.’)

These messages basically mean the server just ended the connection

Chrome:

ERR_CONNECTION_CLOSED

For a test site, change <ssl clientAuthentication=”true” to false.  Restart mqweb, restart the web browser.  If it prompts for userid and password, the certificate sent from the server was OK.  It is the certificate sent up to the server that has a problem.

Reset false back to true.

Messages in messages.log:

None.

How to debug it.

Check the logs/ffdc directory.  I found I had an ffdc with Stack Dump = java.security.cert.CertPathValidatorException: The certificate issued by CN=SSCA8, OU=CA, O=SSS, C=GB is not trusted; internal cause is:   java.security.cert.CertPathValidatorException: Signature does not match.

Using Chrome trace

When I repeated the investigations, I got different records in the Chromium trace.  One included

--> net_error = -110 (ERR_SSL_CLIENT_AUTH_CERT_NEEDED)

Using the mqweb server java trace – which traces the whole server

See the Oracle Debugging SSL/TLS Connections page and an IBM page.  I could not see how to trace just “the problem”.

With -Djavax.net.debug=ssl:handshake in the jvm.options file, and restarting the mweb server I got

 *** ServerHelloDone
Default Executor-thread-8, WRITE: TLSv1.2 Handshake, length = 3054
Default Executor-thread-2, READ: TLSv1.2 Handshake, length = 7
*** Certificate chain
***
Default Executor-thread-2, fatal error: 40: null cert chain

When it worked I had

*** ServerHelloDone
Default Executor-thread-7, WRITE: TLSv1.2 Handshake, length = 3054
Default Executor-thread-15, READ: TLSv1.2 Handshake, length = 2433
*** Certificate chain

…

Found trusted certificate:

When there was no certificate sent up,  it reported null cert chain.

Problem: The client certificate is self signed and not in the server’s trust store

The client certificate cannot be verified because it is too weak.

Chrome:  ERR_BAD_SSL_CLIENT_AUTH_CERT

Firefox:  An error occurred during a connection to …  security library: memory allocation failure.  Error code: SEC_ERROR_NO_MEMORY

Reason:

The selected client certificate cannot be validated.  For example it has been created with Elliptic Curve sect409k1.   This is considered weak see here.  The signature is not in the list of acceptable signatures.

Display the certificate and compare it with the list of weak signatures.  A TLS handshake trace may help identify this.  Create a new certificate with a supported signature, and import it.

Problem the CA signing is too weak.

For example signing with sha1RSA, when Chrome expects SHA256RSA or stronger.

Chrome:  NET::ERR_CERT_WEAK_SIGNATURE_ALGORITHM

Firefox: I didnt get the error

Action: Use stronger signing.  For example on z/OS use RSA SIZE(2048)

… uses an invalid security certificate.

The certificate is not trusted because the issuer certificate has expired.

Error code: SEC_ERROR_EXPIRED_ISSUER_CERTIFICATE

Reason:

The CA certificate in the trust store has expired.  The a valid CA certificate may have been sent down with the server’s certificate, but the validation failed.

Action:

1. From Warning: Potential Security Risk Ahead -> Advanced -> View certificate. It will have the certificate.  Note Issuer -> Organisation and common name
2. Use Firefox preferences-> view certificates.   Select authorities.  Search for the Organisation from the previous line.  Display the certificate with the matching common name.  Replace it and restart the browser.   Replace the certificate through firefox or use this to locate the directory containing the cert9.db.

Error code: SSL_ERROR_CERTIFICATE_UNKNOWN_ALERT

The backend may get java.security.cert.CertPathValidatorException: signature check failed.

One reason, the certificate being used by firefox was signed by an invalid CA, for example the CA had expired.

Action:

1. Check Firefox preferences-> certificates, and check “Ask you every time” is selected, repeat the connection and display information about the certificate.  It will give you the issuer, but no more information than that.
2. Regenerate the certificate, import into Firefox, restart Firefox.
