Hi,
I'm trying to connect to SSL-enabled Postgres (started with -i -l) using
both the openssl command line utility and with a modified JDBC driver
using the built in JSSE API from Java 1.4.
If I attempt to connect from a shell with the openssl test utility, I get:
$ openssl s_client -connect localhost:5432
CONNECTED(00000003)
25870:error:140770FC:SSL routines:SSL23_GET_SERVER_HELLO:unknown
protocol:s23_clnt.c:460:
With the JDBC driver, at connection I get:
javax.net.ssl.SSLException: Unrecognized SSL message, plaintext connection?
In both cases, the server logs the message "FATAL 1: invalid length of
startup packet".
A connection to the server with psql works fine, and prints "SSL
connection (cipher: DES-CBC3-SHA, bits: 168)" at startup. I've tried
manually specifying this cipher to openssl, which does not change the
result.
I'm stuck. Any suggestions or pointers will be greatly appreciated. :)
Thanks,
-Paul
