Disable certificate verification on Ubuntu

Time:06-06

I have one very old legacy project, its web API, and really I need to call it (it hosts on Windows Server 2012). This API require .p12 premade client certificates include in request to it, and i have one.

It works only with https and it have strange certificate.

If i debug my .net 6 project (calls with RestSharp) on Windows 10 - it's OK, but on Ubuntu 22.04 LTS I have issues.

Adding TLSv1.0 or TLSv1.1 or TLSv1.2 support in /etc/ssl/openssl.cnf don't works.

Curl -k or --insecure don't works.

root@nginx:/home/xxx# curl -vvv  https://192.168.201.111:44301/api/
*   Trying 192.168.201.111:44301...

curl: (35) error:0A000102:SSL routines::unsupported protocol

And else:

root@nginx:/home/xxx# openssl s_client -connect 192.168.201.111:44301
CONNECTED(00000003)

Please help me disable this cert validation.

UPD

In C# I do something like this to configure RestClient (on windows it works fine, but on ubuntu it fails):

ServicePointManager.SecurityProtocol = SecurityProtocolType.Tls; 
ServicePointManager.ServerCertificateValidationCallback = (s, ce, ca, p) => true;
FileInfo certFile = new (certFileName);
if (certFile.Exists is false) throw new FileNotFoundException("Certificate file not found");
X509Certificate2Collection certificates = new X509Certificate2Collection();
certificates.Import(certFile.FullName, certPassword, X509KeyStorageFlags.MachineKeySet | X509KeyStorageFlags.PersistKeySet);
ServicePointManager.ServerCertificateValidationCallback = (_, _, _, _) => true;

var options = new RestClientOptions(baseUrl)
{
    FollowRedirects = true,
    ClientCertificates = certificates,
    RemoteCertificateValidationCallback = (sender, certificate, chain, sslPolicyErrors) => true
};
Client = new RestClient(options);

CodePudding user response:

...

Please help me disable this cert validation.

The error is not related to certificate validation but is about TLS protocol versions. One can enforce TLS 1.0 with

openssl s_client -tls1 -cipher 'DEFAULT:@SECLEVEL=1' ... 

This API require .p12 premade client certificates include in request to it, and i have one.

You need to add the client certificate too:

openssl s_client -cert cert.p12 -inform p12 ...
verify error:num=19:self-signed certificate in certificate chain

You need to add the CA with

openssl s_client -CAfile ca.pem ...

The CA is not send by the server though so you have to ask whoever is responsible in order to get the CA.
