Bug reference: 1321
Logged by: T.J. Ferraro
Email address: tjtoocool@phreaker.net
PostgreSQL version: 8.0 Beta
Operating system: Mandrake Linux 10
Description: SSL error: sslv3 alert handshake failure
Details:
After installing 8.0.0beta4 (previously tried with beta3,2,etc) on a linux
system with a working 7.4.x installation I was unable to connect with ssl.
Tried compiling with OpenSSL 0.9.7d/e. I used certificates created with
OpenSSL 0.9.7d/e that both worked fine with 7.4.x but apparently not so with
8.0.0. Server starts fine, but when I attempt to connect to the server with
latest pgadmin or psql (8.0.0beta4 both on the pgfoundry binary for windows
and a compiled version on Mandrake Linux) the error is always the same. The
error message returned to the client is "SSL error: sslv3 alert handshake
failure". The log reports: "could not accept SSL connection: 1".
