Hi,
We are using soap request node in our flow to connect to a number of endpoints over HTTPS (SSL). The endpoint is dynamically set and the request format for all endpoints is common. One of the endpoints is giving generic Connection reset error. I enabled user trace and got the following exception in logs:
SocketException BIP3165S: An error occurred whilst performing an SSL socket operation. Operation: 'connect'. Error Text: 'java.net.SocketException: Connection reset'.
All the other endpoints are working fine. I have tested from soapUI and I am successfully getting response from the remote server on this URL and also i can ping that URL successfully. So now what could be the reason for this exception for this particular endpoint system. I am suspecting that the remote system is using some different protocol than SSL like TLS etc or they have not configured the certificate properly at their end. I have asked them to share their logs when exception occurs but if anyone of you have faced similar issue, kindly share your experiences.
I guess, you are on right track.
To add $0.02 -
1. Check the SSL version being used. They might not be accepting SSL v2.
2. Use TLS is a recommended way.
3. As you are getting connection reset => This means during SSL handshake, the server is sending 'RESET' back to client.
4. Are you using mutual SSL for that target server? I mean does it expect mutual SSL (client certificate)
5. If basic checks you do not provide you the required details - you may want to check the ciphers that are used on the certificate and as a lastly do packet capture and analyze SSL handshake.
