SSL encryption JKS file

Post by alexcy32 »

I have managed to create a .pfx file (from Godaddy's SSL certificate using EXPORT command in IIS). Then I create the .jks file as per the instructions on http://docs2x.smartfoxserver.com/Gettin ... yptography

Then I copy the .jks file and edit the .ini file to reflect the new .jks file and password (which I choose during the creation of the .jks file).

After doing the above and restarting the server it never starts again. The following is in the log file WARN | SFS2X ShutdownHook | v2.core.SFSShutdownHook (If I try to start the sfs-2x service manually it just STOPS by itself and does not start).

If I replace the ssl.ini with the original one that is unmodified then the SFS starts fine.

Any ideas as to why? This is a fresh SFS install, no extensions etc.

Thank you

Hi,
there should be more lines in the log files when the server starts up again.
Can you copy/paste them here. The logs are in SFS2X/logs/smartfox.log

thanks

Here is a fresh copy of the log. The 1st start of the SFS it failed to start (17:31pm). Then I replaced the SSL.INI and I restarted again and it worked ok (17:34pm) -- I have the server on INFO mode when it comes to logging (not DEBUG fyi)

Re: SSL encryption JKS file

Actually it doesn't seem that the 1st start didn't work. It looks like there's no errors and the server has outputted the "Server Ready" log message, which indicates that it is running.

Were you not able to connect or something like that?

Can you show me the difference between the two .ini files, by the way?

Re: SSL encryption JKS file

On the 1st instance for sure SFS was not running. I could not connect to Adminzone(I also tried through the browser at https//:<your-host>:<ssl-port> and it wasn't working also, and the sfs service cannot start).. Isn't this line in the log file imply that the SFS shut down after restart:
05 Nov 2015 | 17:31:27,516 | WARN | SFS2X ShutdownHook | v2.core.SFSShutdownHook | | SFS2X is shutting down. The process may take a few seconds...

The 2nd ssl.ini that I use and I am having issues has this code:
#
# Initialize module ssl
#
--module=ssl
## SSL Keystore Configuration
# define the port to use for secure redirection
jetty.secure.port=8443

# Setup a demonstration keystore and truststore
jetty.keystore=etc/test2.jks
jetty.truststore=etc/test2.jks

# Set the demonstration passwords.
# Note that OBF passwords are not secure, just protected from casual observation
# See http://www.eclipse.org/jetty/documentat ... words.html
jetty.keystore.password=123456
jetty.keymanager.password=123456
jetty.truststore.password=123456

The other SSL.ini is the original one that is included in the installation.

The .ini file looks fine, no problem there. So if the problem is persisting I'd be suspicious of the .jks file.

You could verify its integrity by running this command:

Code: Select all

keytool -list -v -keystore keystore.jks
Other than that, you could send the jks file file to us via email (support@...) and we can try it over here.

Hope it helps

I tried to test the integrity of it and it looks fine. If it's not too much trouble I will send the JKS to your email and please have a look at it.. It's been bugging me for quite some time now and can't fix it. I will reference this thread in the email. Sending it now. Thank you

Re: SSL encryption JKS file

Is there a way to get more error messages as to why SFS does not start? I tried changing it to DEBUG mode but the logs remain the same. Basically the SFS shuts down as soon as it starts:

06 Nov 2015 | 09:14:25,210 | INFO | SFSWorker:Sys:1 | smartfoxserver.v2.SmartFoxServer | | SmartFoxServer 2X (2.10.0) READY!
06 Nov 2015 | 09:14:25,334 | INFO | Thread-1 | entities.managers.SFSZoneManager | | BuddyList saveAll...
06 Nov 2015 | 09:14:25,341 | WARN | SFS2X ShutdownHook | v2.core.SFSShutdownHook | | SFS2X is shutting down. The process may take a few seconds...

And again as soon as I replace the SSL.ini everything works OK. Can you provide me a different test jks to try out perhaps?

Thank you

It seems the UTF-8 encoding was wrong.. Trying again a fresh one.. Will get back to you..
