SSL/TLS Problem - Unable to register - "could not contact registration server"

[jpatten]

Attempting to register, get the following error:

Could not contact registration server, please try again later. at /loader/0x1137                                                                             470/FOP2/License.pm line 509, <> line 1.

In looking at a packet trace I've found that the registration script appears to be trying to use SSLv2 and SSLv3 to connect to www.fop2.com instead of TLS. I did a Qualys SSL test against www.fop2.com and found that SSLv2 and SSLv3 are not supported (rightly so). The OS I'm running is the most recent FreePBX 13 distro.

Any ideas on how I might go about forcing the registration to attempt TLS instead of SSLv2/3?

Thanks!

I am still unable to register my FOP2 instance, any idea on how I can resolve this issue?

Try using this:

/usr/local/fop2/fop2_server --register --rp=http

Best regards,

That worked!

Suggestion, maybe have another option to specify using TLS, or have an exception caught if the SSL handshake fails suggesting the user try adding the --rp=http option?

Problem is not ssl/tls per se. openssl libraries are giving issues on some systems. This worked on a system today (that had installed a recent FreePBX distro):

yum install openssl098e

With that compatibility library there is no crash.

Best regards,
