Also, not only are we getting the TLSv1.2 Peer not recognized... errors
when connecting to our internal servers (HAProxy), were have been
getting that -16 error when we try to connect to one of our VANs
(COVISINT).

We have had these errors since we went to 7.4 on Labor Day. After
changing ciphers and putting on all the latest PTF groups, we now have
this very strange symptom: these errors "(GSKit) Peer not recognized or
badly formatted message received." are only happening between the hours
of 6am through 10am (we may get 1 or 2 outside of this time frame).

I have just installed that ptf (MF67593 - 7.4 MF67570), so let's see what
tomorrow brings.

Info from IBM that a customer got:

-APAR MA48442 (“OSP-OTHER-UNPRED SYSTEM TLS FAILS TLSV1.2 SERVER HELLO
WITHOUT EXTENSION DATA LENGTH”)
-Update a few PTF Groups to current levels
-Apply PTF MF67593, which isn’t in any PTF Group.

So it does seem to be an IBM issue that has already been (hopefully)
fixed. I will know for sure after the weekend.

I tried searching for PTFs but that seems futile these days... unless I'm
just not understanding how their newer searches work...lol.

Hi, Jeff.

I haven't seen any issues with Google, no. I just am wondering if it's
an
issue with only certain endpoints. It's hard to tell. I am hoping to
hear
from one customer to see what IBM tells them.

Is this 7.3? Would this possibly affect my using G4G uploading PDFs?

Asking because I'm set to IPL and apply some PTF groups tomorrow night.

Thanks.

I have a few customers that seem to be reporting an issue with the
IBM
SSL
APIs after applying a recent PTF group when using GETURI (HTTPAPI
also
reports the same issues) communicating with a web service.

Also from tests using cURL and PHP on the IBM i the error cannot be
reproduced, neither can it on the PC using Postman, etc.

Randomly they are receiving the error:

415 - Peer not recognized or badly formatted message received.

If the standard SSL APIs are used RC is normally -16 if I recall.

One customer was able to work with a trading partner and they did a
trace
on their end and tracked it down to the "Hello" communications from
the
IBM
i during SSL negotiation.

What they saw and explained was something like this:

"...When everything is working fine we have noticed the server hellos
are
super small …376 bytes which is an indication of TLS session reuse.
Then
there is an attempt to do TLS reuse with a different proxy or backend
server and it fails which is likely this TLS FATAL illegal parameter
error. The NEXT server hello is much larger, 3586 bytes, because the
TLS
session is trashed and has to start over.


It then works for a while with the little server hello's doing
session
reuse ... until a proxy or backend server gets switched and it blows
up
and
starts all over..."


So, when this error is reported on the IBM i seems to correlate with
what
they see on their end where the TLS session is "trashed".


My suspicion is that a recent PTF broke this, since it worked for
years
previously and after the PTFs this behavior started.


I have the customer contacting IBM to see when they can find with all
this
information, but I am just curious if anyone else is experiencing
this
issue and what they have found.


Thanks.
