Issue 24545: Issue with ssl package (original) (raw)

I tried to use cert = ssl.get_server_certificate((XXXX, 443)) and it crashed with following error:

Traceback (most recent call last): File "PeerCertChainQuery.py", line 107, in cert = ssl.get_server_certificate((options.host, 443)) File "/opt/lib/python2.7/ssl.py", line 965, in get_server_certificate with closing(context.wrap_socket(sock)) as sslsock: File "/opt/lib/python2.7/ssl.py", line 350, in wrap_socket _context=self) File "/opt/lib/python2.7/ssl.py", line 566, in init self.do_handshake() File "/opt/lib/python2.7/ssl.py", line 788, in do_handshake self._sslobj.do_handshake() ssl.SSLError: [SSL: SSLV3_ALERT_HANDSHAKE_FAILURE] sslv3 alert handshake failure (_ssl.c:581)

Note that the configuration of apache server on the host XXXX has disabled ssl3 support and it only supports TLSV1, TLVS1.1, AND TLSV1.3.

This also happened on Python 3.4.3.

Much appreciated if you could have a look at what happened or suggest me how to get around this.
