TLS Server Name Indication Extension and Unrecognized_name

Image
Heavy Pond, Jianfengling National Forest Park, Ledong, Hainan, China It's getting hot that some TLS/HTTPS server failed with "unrecognized_name". For example, the Adobe AIR 3 Code Signing Certificate Problem , the ADT handshake alert , and the jarsigner issue with timestamp.geotrust.com , etc. This entry will discussion some background of the "unrecognized_name" alert, and the TLS Server Name Indication (SNI) extension. Background "Unrecognized_name" is an error alert, define by RFC4366 .  In section 4 of RFC4366 : - "unrecognized_name": this alert is sent by servers that receive a server_name extension request, but do not recognize the server name. This message MAY be fatal. And in section 3.1 of of RFC4366 : If the server understood the client hello extension but does not recognize the server name, it SHOULD send an "unrecognized_name" alert (which MAY be fatal). From above sections, we see that "unrecognized

JSSE Oracle Provider Default Disabled TLS Cipher Suites

The following TLS cipher suites are supported by Oracle provider, SunJSSE. These cipher suites are disabled by default because of one of the following reasons: obsoleted weak cipher suites anonymous cipher suites no encryption cipher suites (null cipher) Kerberos cipher suites Cipher suites for Kerberos (KRB5) need additional KRB5 service configuration, and these cipher suites are not common in practice. You are NOT supposed to use these cipher suites unless you really know what you're doing from a standpoint.
