"java.net.SocketException: Connection reset" when running a simpleSSL client

Question

I am attempting to create a client/server using the SSL communication. I followed the instructions listed here (https://www.rabbitmq.com/ssl.html).

I am greeted with this error:

while running the server :

java.net.SocketException: Connection reset

    at com.rabbitmq.client.ConnectionFactory.newConnection(ConnectionFactory.java:678)
    at com.rabbitmq.client.ConnectionFactory.newConnection(ConnectionFactory.java:722)

while using the client :

    at com.rabbitmq.client.ConnectionFactory.newConnection(ConnectionFactory.java:722)
    at rmqClient.simpleSSL.main(simpleSSL.java:23)

here's my rabbit.config file :

[
    {ssl, [{versions, ['tlsv1.2', 'tlsv1.1']}]},
    {
    rabbit,
    [
          {ssl_listeners, [5675]},
      {ssl_options, [{cacertfile,"sslConn/ca_certificate.pem"},
                          {certfile,  "sslConn/server_certificate.pem"},
                          {keyfile,   "sslConn/server_key.pem"},
                          {versions, ['tlsv1.2', 'tlsv1.1']},
                          {ciphers,  [{ecdhe_ecdsa,aes_128_cbc,sha256},
                                      {ecdhe_ecdsa,aes_256_cbc,sha}]}
                         ]},     
          {tcp_listeners, [5672]},
          {loopback_users, []}
        ]
    }
].

here's also my client code :

    factory.setHost("10.3.9.139");
    factory.setPort(5673);
    factory.setUsername("User1");
    factory.setPassword("User1");
    factory.useSslProtocol();
    Connection conn = factory.newConnection();
    Channel channel = conn.createChannel();
    channel.queueDeclare("rabbitmq-java-test", false, true, true, null);
    channel.basicPublish("", "rabbitmq-java-test", null, "Hello, World".getBytes());

java.net.SocketException: Connection reset is generally speaking caused by remote peer closed connection.

I guess your SSL config didn't fit well with server. Suggestion here is to debug SSL connection to find root cause.

Try to append this system property to your JVM params:

-Djavax.net.debug=all

I am getting same error when trying to hit from soapui.. Can you please let me know that where do i need to add -Djavax.net.debug=all?

ChanGan Over a year ago

I have added in SoapUI-5.0.0.vmoptions.. Let me see i am able to resolve the issue. I did not get any clue.. getting same errorlog..

I wish I'd known about -Djavax.net.debug=all about 5 weeks ago! If you're using Tomcat, you'll need to find the right place in catalina.sh to add it.

I was able to fix this in Java 1.7 by specifying: SSLContext sc = SSLContext.getInstance("TLSv1.2");

In the v configuration you have set port 5675 for SSL listener, but in code you are using 5673.
