RHEL Engineering is moving the tracking of its product development work on RHEL 6 through RHEL 9 to Red Hat Jira (issues.redhat.com). If you're a Red Hat customer, please continue to file support cases via the Red Hat customer portal. If you're not, please head to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira and file new tickets here. Individual Bugzilla bugs in the statuses "NEW", "ASSIGNED", and "POST" are being migrated throughout September 2023. Bugs of Red Hat partners with an assigned Engineering Partner Manager (EPM) are migrated in late September as per pre-agreed dates. Bugs against components "kernel", "kernel-rt", and "kpatch" are only migrated if still in "NEW" or "ASSIGNED". If you cannot log in to RH Jira, please consult article #7032570. That failing, please send an e-mail to the RH Jira admins at rh-issues@redhat.com to troubleshoot your issue as a user management inquiry. The email creates a ServiceNow ticket with Red Hat. Individual Bugzilla bugs that are migrated will be moved to status "CLOSED", resolution "MIGRATED", and set with "MigratedToJIRA" in "Keywords". The link to the successor Jira issue will be found under "Links", have a little "two-footprint" icon next to it, and direct you to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira (issue links are of type "https://issues.redhat.com/browse/RHEL-XXXX", where "X" is a digit). This same link will be available in a blue banner at the top of the page informing you that that bug has been migrated.

Description John Dennis 2014-10-22 16:29:11 UTC 
+++ This bug was initially created as a clone of Bug #1154776 +++

Description of problem:

The old protocol API for NSS allows only SSL2, SSL3 and TLS1.0. A new API was added to specify the min/max of the allowed range, SSL_VersionRangeSet. We need that in order to be able to enable the client to use TLS v1.1 and TLS v1.2

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):

python-nss-0.13-1.el6

How reproducible:


Steps to Reproduce:
1. Install IPA server
2. Update /etc/httpd/conf.d/nss.conf and set NSSProtocol to TLSv1.1
3. ipa -vv user-show admin

Actual results:

(SSL_ERROR_PROTOCOL_VERSION_ALERT) Peer reports incompatible or unsupported protocol version.

This is because only SSL3 and TLSv1 are enabled by default and there is no mechanism to enable them.

--- Additional comment from John Dennis on 2014-10-22 12:28:04 EDT ---

Rob, there is a Fedora scratch build here for a trial 0.16.0 version:

http://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/taskinfo?taskID=7930311

It includes all the SSL version range API calls (as well as the ability to set trust properites on Certificates that someone else had requested). Examples of using the SSL version range stuff can be found in doc/examples/ssl_version_range.py

I'd rather not go through the effort of doing an official Mozilla release and RHEL builds until you sanity check this trial version. Would you please do that and report back? Thanks!
