Making SSL tests all pass for Phoenix + Let's Encrypt

Can you share the contents of your cert.pem file?

Unlike many other servers, Erlang/OTP’s ssl does not blindly copy the contents of the file into the TLS handshake. Instead, it inspects the end certificate and then looks for its issuer certificate (recursively) using the available CA certificates. If you specify the :cacertfile/:cacerts option, then it will look for the intermediates there, rather than in the file :certfile points to. Of you don’t, then it falls back to looking in :certfile for the intermediates.

It sounds like in your case this process does not result in a valid issuer for your end certificate, so none is sent in the handshake. The question is why exactly…

Could it be the line break between the two certificates is not a newline, but maybe CR or a space? Try opening the file and adding one or more new lines just before “-----BEGIN CERTIFICATE-----”.

I have adjusted like you suggested.

Hmm, just to rule out file encoding issues altogether, when you run :public_key.pem_decode(File.read!("cert.pem")) in iEX, do you get a list with one or two certificates?

Ok, I can reproduce the issue here, but only with some Erlang/OTP versions. The problem goes away when I add cacertfile: "cert.pem" to the ssl options. I don’t know why: when :cacertfile is not specified, ssl is supposed to look in the file specified by certfile.

The server is:

λ elixir --version
Erlang/OTP 23 [erts-11.1.1] [source] [64-bit] [smp:4:4] [ds:4:4:10] [async-threads:1]

Elixir 1.11.1 (compiled with Erlang/OTP 21)

So you saying I should use the combined cert.pem for both :cacertfile and :certfile ?

Sadly, same result

cacertfile: Application.app_dir(@app, "priv/cert.pem"),
      certfile: Application.app_dir(@app, "priv/cert.pem"),
      keyfile: Application.app_dir(@app, "priv/cert.key")

I saw the issue with 22.3, and just now I also reproduced it with 23.1. With 23.2 it works ok out of the box.

Yes, the workaround is to set both :certfile and :cacertfile to the same path containing the full chain.

I was about to move to:

let me do this and see

God bless & thanks sooooo much! :pray: :pray: :pray:

I’ve been bitten by this before too… there was some discussion last year: ssl server doesn't send complete chain?

I think this is the commit that fixed it in 23.2: ssl: Extend cert and certfile option to be able to include a cert chain · erlang/otp@8d97c09 · GitHub

  OTP-16277    Application(s): ssl

               Handle extraneous certs in certificate chains as well
               as chains that are incomplete but can be reconstructed
               or unordered chains. The cert and certfile options will
               now accept a list of certificates so that the user may
               specify the chain explicitly.

               Also, the default value of the depth option has been
               increased to allow longer chains by default.

The author of that post wants to separate the intermediate CAs for their server certificate from the list of trusted root CAs used to verify client certificates. Right now this is not possible, as Ingela pointed out in her response. If the :cacertfile option is set, the server does not look for (intermediate) CAs in the file referenced by :certfile. Only if :cacertfile is not specified does it look in that file instead.

That change affects the way a chain is built for a peer certificate (e.g. a client checking a server’s certificate during a TLS handshake). In particular, it is supposed to handle multiple possible paths, as in the case of cross-signed certificates. It should not affect the sources used to locate issuers of the local end certificate.

Ah yes, indeed. I just happened to hit both problems at the same time because I was trying to configure RabbitMQ for mTLS.
