I am using ubuntu in a wsl2 from my windows pc and with every download I want to make I get the error: x509 certificate signed by unknown authority.
Example: For installing kubernetes I follow the instructions:
curl -LO "https://dl.k8s.io/release/$(curl -L -s https://dl.k8s.io/release/stable.txt)/bin/linux/amd64/kubectl"
leading to: SSL certificate problem: unable to get local issuer certificate
Does anybody know how to solve this? Thanks in advance!
I could solve the problem only by downgrading to WSL1
I am new to ssl / networking and want to utilize mutal ssl ( client verifies server and server verifies peer) I found a white paper (http://www.infidigm.net/articles/qsslsocket_for_ssl_beginners/) online that gave me some guidance for setting up my certs and keys. Now this paper utilizes a local host ip address as the clients cert file. I want to switch this to a register domain name (scp.radiant.io). This FQDN is local to my ubuntu os for testing purposes
updated my localhost to have a domianname (scp.radiant.io). by modifying this file sudo nano /etc/hosts/ to say 127.0.0.1 scp.radiant.io localhost
Next I create certificate and private keys for both client and server
a. Steps for gen certs example for server below. same commands are run for client to create client certs
openssl req -out server_ca.pem -new -x509 -nodes -subj "/C=$COUNTRY/ST=$STATE/L=$LOCALITY/O=$ORG/OU=$ORG_UNIT/CN=server/emailAddress=radiant.$EMAIL"
mv privkey.pem server_privatekey.pem
touch server_index.txt
echo "00" >> server_index.txt
openssl genrsa -out server_local.key 1024
openssl req -key ${NAME}_local.key -new -out server_local.req -subj "/C=$COUNTRY/ST=$STATE/L=$LOCALITY/O=$ORG/OU=$ORG_UNIT/CN=scp.radiant.io/emailAddress=$EMAIL"
openssl x509 -req -in ${NAME}_local.req -CA ${NAME}_ca.pem -CAkey server_privatekey.pem -CAserial server_index.txt -out server_local.pem
b. this generates a CaCerts (server_ca.pem and client_ca.pem)
c. this generates a Local Cert files (server_local.pem and client_local.pem).. THIS IS WHERE I SET FQDN to scp.radiant.io
d. this generate a LocalKey (server_local.key and client_local.key)
I use the generated cert files for setting up the ssl configuration on the QSslSocket for both sides like so
//client socket setup
config.setPrivateKey("server_local.key");
config.setLocalCertificate("server_local.pem");
config.addCaCertificate("client_ca.pem");
config.setPeerVerifyMode("QSslSocket::VerifyPeer");
sslSocket->setSslConfiguration(config);
sslSocket->connectToHostEncrypted("scp.radiant.io",1200);
// server socket setup
config.setPrivateKey("client_local.key");
config.setLocalCertificate("client_local.pem");
config.addCaCertificate("server_ca.pem");
config.setPeerVerifyMode("QSslSocket::VerifyPeer");
sslSocket->setSslConfiguration(config);
sslSocket->startServerEncryption()
When running this code i get the following error in my ssl errors. "The host name did not match any of the valid hosts for this certificate
Now if I change the client socket to use this when connecting sslSocket->connectToHostEncrypted("scp.radiant.io",1200,"scp.radiant.io"); it will work.
I dont understand why I have to set the peerVerifyHost argument when connecting encrypted. I would like use the same certificates for my WebSockets implementation for this as well but the QWebSocket class does not allow you to set the peerverifyHost when connecting. So I must be doing something wrong at the cert level or the os level for my FQDN. any networking and ssl help would be helpful
I think you can ignore this error using "ignoreSslErrors" and let the handshake continue
I'm new in ASP.NET.
Environment:
Ubuntu 18.04
Visual Studio Code
.NET SDK 2.2.105
I'm in trouble with some command running.
I was reading tutorial at
https://learn.microsoft.com/ja-jp/aspnet/core/tutorials/razor-pages/razor-pages-start?view=aspnetcore-2.2&tabs=visual-studio-code
and ran this command:
dotnet dev-certs https --trust
I expect https://localhost should be trusted.
but I found the error message;
$ Specify --help for a list of available options and commands.
It seems that the command "dotnet dev-certs https" has no --trust options.
How to resolve this problem?
On Ubuntu the standard mechanism would be:
dotnet dev-certs https -v to generate a self-signed cert
convert the generated cert in ~/.dotnet/corefx/cryptography/x509stores/my from pfx to pem using openssl pkcs12 -in <certname>.pfx -nokeys -out localhost.crt -nodes
copy localhost.crt to /usr/local/share/ca-certificates
trust the certificate using sudo update-ca-certificates
verify if the cert is copied to /etc/ssl/certs/localhost.pem (extension changes)
verify if it's trusted using openssl verify localhost.crt
Unfortunately this does not work:
dotnet dev-certs https generates certificates that are affected by the issue described on https://github.com/openssl/openssl/issues/1418 and https://github.com/dotnet/aspnetcore/issues/7246:
$ openssl verify localhost.crt
CN = localhost
error 20 at 0 depth lookup: unable to get local issuer certificate
error localhost.crt: verification failed
due to that it's impossible to have a dotnet client trust the certificate
Workaround: (tested on Openssl 1.1.1c)
manually generate self-signed cert
trust this cert
force your application to use this cert
In detail:
manually generate self-signed cert:
create localhost.conf file with the following content:
[req]
default_bits = 2048
default_keyfile = localhost.key
distinguished_name = req_distinguished_name
req_extensions = req_ext
x509_extensions = v3_ca
[req_distinguished_name]
commonName = Common Name (e.g. server FQDN or YOUR name)
commonName_default = localhost
commonName_max = 64
[req_ext]
subjectAltName = #alt_names
[v3_ca]
subjectAltName = #alt_names
basicConstraints = critical, CA:false
keyUsage = keyCertSign, cRLSign, digitalSignature,keyEncipherment
[alt_names]
DNS.1 = localhost
DNS.2 = 127.0.0.1
generate cert using openssl req -x509 -nodes -days 365 -newkey rsa:2048 -keyout localhost.key -out localhost.crt -config localhost.conf
convert cert to pfx using openssl pkcs12 -export -out localhost.pfx -inkey localhost.key -in localhost.crt
(optionally) verify cert using openssl verify -CAfile localhost.crt localhost.crt which should yield localhost.crt: OK
as it's not trusted yet using openssl verify localhost.crt should fail with
CN = localhost
error 18 at 0 depth lookup: self signed certificate
error localhost.crt: verification failed
trust this cert:
copy localhost.crt to /usr/local/share/ca-certificates
trust the certificate using sudo update-ca-certificates
verify if the cert is copied to /etc/ssl/certs/localhost.pem (extension changes)
verifying the cert without the CAfile option should work now
$ openssl verify localhost.crt
localhost.crt: OK
force your application to use this cert
update your appsettings.json with the following settings:
"Kestrel": {
"Certificates": {
"Default": {
"Path": "localhost.pfx",
"Password": ""
}
}
}
While the answer provided by #chrsvdb is helpful it does not solve all problems. I still had issue with service-to-service communication (HttpClient - PartialChain error) and also you must reconfigure Kestrel to use your own certificate. It is possible to create a self-signed certificate and import it to the .NET SDK. All you need is to specify the 1.3.6.1.4.1.311.84.1.1 extension in the certificate.
After that the cert can be imported into .NET Core SDK and trusted. Trusting in Linux is a bit hard as each application can have it's own certificate store. E.g. Chromium and Edge use nssdb which can be configured with certutil as described John Duffy. Unfortunately the location to the nssdb maybe different when you install application as snap. Then each application has its own database. E.g. for Chromium Snap the path will be $HOME/snap/chromium/current/.pki/nssdb, for Postman Snap the will be $HOME/snap/postman/current/.pki/nssdb and so on.
Therefor I have created a script which generates the cert, trusts it for Postman Snap, Chmromium Snap, current user nssdb and on system level. It also imports the script into the .NET SDK so it will be used by ASP.NET Core without changing the configuration. You can find more informations about the script in my blog post https://blog.wille-zone.de/post/aspnetcore-devcert-for-ubuntu
In adition to crisvdb answer, I've several information to add and is the continuation of the walktrough. I don't comment because is pretty complex comment this, but before this answer take a look to crisvdb answer first and then return to continue.
Take the "in detail" crisdb answer.
You can make your cert in any folder, can be or can't be in the same folder of the app.
Take openssl verify -CAfile localhost.crt localhost.crt as not optional step, mandatory. It will help.
Do not recompile or touch the code meanwhile you are doing this, in order to get first scenario clean.
If you run sudo update-ca-certificates that will answer you in wich folder the certified should be copied.
In some distributions, as Raspbian for Raspberry Pi, CA certificates are located in /etc/ssl/certs as well as /usr/share/ca-certificates/ and in some cases /usr/local/share/certificates.
Do not copy the cert manually to trusted certs, run sudo update-ca-certificates after you copy the cert in the right folder. If it doesn't work (doesn't update or add any certificate) copy it to every folder possible.
If you use a password while making the certificate, you should use it in the appsettings.json
If you get this error:
Interop+Crypto+OpenSslCryptographicException: error:2006D002:BIO
routines:BIO_new_file:system lib
Take in consideration that error means "access denied". It can be because you don't have permissions or related.
7b) Could be also that the file is not found, I use the entire path in the config:
"Path": "/home/user/www/myfolder1/myapp/localhost.pfx",
After that, and if everything works, you could see a 500 error if you are using Apache or Apache2.
If you get the following error in the apache logs of the site:
[ssl:error] [remote ::1:yourport] AH01961: SSL Proxy requested for
yoursite.com:443 but not enabled [Hint: SSLProxyEngine] [proxy:error]
AH00961: HTTPS: failed to enable ssl support for [::1]:yourport
(localhost)
you must set in the VirtualHost the following configuration after SSLEngine On and before your ProxyPass
SSLProxyEngine on
After that, and if everything works, you could see a 500 error if you are using Apache or Apache2.
If you get the following error in the apache logs of the site:
[proxy:error] [client x.x.x.x:port] AH00898: Error during SSL
Handshake with remote server returned by /
[proxy_http:error] [client x.x.x.x:port] AH01097: pass request body failed to [::1]:port
(localhost) from x.x.x.x()
you must set in the VirtualHost the following configuration after SSLProxyEngine on and before your ProxyPass
SSLProxyVerify none
SSLProxyCheckPeerCN off
SSLProxyCheckPeerName off
UPDATE
If you are renovating this, and using the same names, take in consideration that you should remove your pem file from etc/ssl/certs
UPDATE 2
If it returns:
Unhandled exception. Interop+Crypto+OpenSslCryptographicException: error:2006D002:BIO routines:BIO_new_file:system lib
Check that your pfx file is on 755 permissions.
If appsettings.json seems to be don't load (on port 5000 by default or SQL or any configuration doesn't load or can't be read), take in consideration that the dotnet must be executed on the same directory where is appsettings.json
Looks like this is a known issue with dotnet global tools and that specific command is only available for MacOS and Windows. See this issue on github: Issue 6066.
It seems like there may be a work around for Linux users based on this SO post: ASP.Net Core application service only listening to Port 5000 on Ubuntu.
For Chrome:
Click "Not Secure" in address bar.
Click Certificate.
Click Details.
Click Export.
Run: certutil -d sql:$HOME/.pki/nssdb -A -t "P,," -n {FILE_NAME} -i {FILE_NAME}
Restart Chrome.
It looks like the following could help to trust the dotnet dev certs:
https://blog.wille-zone.de/post/aspnetcore-devcert-for-ubuntu/
Then you will see also in the browser that certificate is OK and valid for the next yeat.
Give it a try...
Good luck!
I was trying Qualys SSL Labs test and It told me that the server is vulnerable to OpenSSL Padding Oracle vulnerability (CVE-2016-2107). I googled around on how to fix this, and although the OpenSSL version installed on my system (Ubuntu 14.04) should be patched for that according to this link I was still getting this error.
I tried upgrading OpenSSL but it was already the newest version, so I installed manually a newer version following the instructions here which went fine, but that didn't fix anything. Looking at the info from Nginx, It seems it still runs with the previous version:
nginx -V
nginx version: nginx/1.10.2
built with OpenSSL 1.0.1f 6 Jan 2014 (running with OpenSSL 1.0.2g-fips 1 Mar 2016)
while OpenSSL has clearly been updated:
openssl version
OpenSSL 1.0.2j 26 Sep 2016
Any idea how to get all this sorted out?
Note that yes, I did restart Nginx, I even tried sudo service nginx upgrade and even rebooted the server.
I'm trying to fetch the following URL via various libraries and command-line tools, but running into a SSL handshake error.
> curl https://www.joelosteen.com/Views/RSS/Feed?t=PodcastVideo&ct=CustomList&cst=Podcasts
curl: (35) error:14077438:SSL routines:SSL23_GET_SERVER_HELLO:tlsv1 alert internal error
I've seen here it may be fixed by reducing possible ciphers, but trying this less strict call with restricted ciphers doesn't fix it.
curl -vlkL "https://www.joelosteen.com/Views/RSS/Feed?t=PodcastVideo&ct=CustomList&cst=Podcasts" --ciphers DHE-RSA-AES256-SHA
Any ideas how I can fix this? It's a shared account, ie no root available.
The server supports only TLS version 1.2, i.e. no TLS 1.0 or even SSL 3.0. My guess is that the curl you use is simply too old to use TLS 1.2, but without further details about the version you use this guess can not be verified.
To determine the version of curl use curl --version. If you see it is compiled with OpenSSL than it should show at least version 1.0.1 of OpenSSL to have TLS 1.2 support.
curl -vlkL ... --ciphers DHE-RSA-AES256-SHA
This is not a cipher supported by the server. One of the ciphers supported is AES128-SHA but again, no chance if your curl does not support TLS 1.2.
