[jboss-jira] [JBoss JIRA] (WFLY-11007) Using OpenShift generated certificates and client auth cause TLS errors

[Jan Lieskovsky (JIRA)]

    [ https://issues.jboss.org/browse/WFLY-11007?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=13632844#comment-13632844 ] 

Jan Lieskovsky commented on WFLY-11007:
---------------------------------------

But how would the client app know, how much of the certificates is "enough yet" and how much of them is "already too much"? Shouldn't the server instead try to send the replies to the client in multiple packets, each of them having proper length of the TLS record field? Didn't investigate the RFC, but I would assume there's something "a continuation packet" or a flag how to notify the client, the list of CAs isn't complete and will continue in the next packet yet.

If there isn't, and the truststore truly needs to be properly truncated by the user sooner than it can be specified as the source for the server, in that case, the server should recognize, the length of the TLS record field doesn't meet the requirement, and should issue a warning / or a request the user to modify the truststore, so the requirement is met. 

But this sounds strange to me (see above, how would the app / user know, e.g. 70 certs is good enough yet, but 71 of them is already "too much"? Not counting the fact, since the certs are different, I assume their contribution to the final TLS record field to be different, unless there's exact length contribution to the final field for each of them).

> h2. Summary
> It seems that when using OpenShift generated certificates and client auth (with {{want-client-auth="true"}}) the TLS handshake fails with {{RECV TLSv1.2 ALERT:  fatal, record_overflow}} message.
> h2. Explanation
> I'm using {{oc cluster up}} and deploying Keycloak (WF 13 based) on OpenShift local cluster using the (1) template. The service in the the template uses OpenShift generated certificates ({{"service.alpha.openshift.io/serving-cert-secret-name": "keycloak-x509-https-secret"}}). Both files are mounted in the Keycloak pod and translated into keystore and truststore (see the configuration after the transformation (2)). Once the pod is up and running, I'm issuing a {{curl}} command as shown in (3). {{curl}} fails saying that {{* error:1408F092:SSL routines:ssl3_get_record:data length too long}}. The server logs with TLS Handshake debugging turned on might be found here (4). As shown in the link, the server has written {{16384}} bytes. 
> I also did a test with manually created certificates (5). The result might be found here (6). As shown in the link, we've written {{16050}} bytes instead of {{16384}} and the handshake was successful.
> h2. Possible solution
> Perhaps we should cut the list CAs transmitted by the server when asking for client auth when it exceeds certain number of bytes. It would be helpful to write a warn message too.
