Question

SSL VPN - Certificate Error / TLS error

I hope someone is able to help me.

 

I'm currently having issues connecting to Fortigate 80E using SSL VPN. v6.2.3

 

I currently have 2 root certificates on the appliance.

 

CA1 - OLD root Certificate

CA2 - New Root Certificate

 

PKI users

User1 - CA1(old cert)

Subject - CN=username (matches the user cert CN subject on the device)

Connects fine

 

User2 - CA2(new cert)

Subject - CN=username(matches the user cert CN subject on the device)

Error in connection.

 

I recieve different errors when i connect - sometimes its more the certificate error but other times its the TLS error.

 

 

This was originally working but now fully doesnt work. If i switch the cert for the user back to the old root CA and matching subject then they can connect without issues.

 

Current Config:

ssl-max-proto-ver : tls1-3

ssl-min-proto-ver : tls1-1 Doing some debug on the appliance and trying to connect i managed to trace where the errors start comparing it to the working connection.

 

SSL state:SSLv3/TLS read client key exchange (Remote User IP) SSL state:fatal decrypt error (Remote User IP) SSL state:error:(null)(Remote User IP) SSL_accept failed, 1:bad signature

 

Now first its been suggested that SSLv3 is disabled however i can't see how to do that on version 6.2 or above rather than setting the SSL min / max versions which are listed above. I have also ensured that all the TLS options within IE settings are selected when testing this out.

 

Ideally i need to get this sorted within the next couple of weeks as the users certs are expiring from the old root.

 

Could anyone post any suggestions?

 

Thanks.

    Is the cert trusted by the end-user? I would start at that point 1st and and then work forward.

    The cert is fully trusted by the device - these are issued out through SCEP

     

    We also use this cert for Cisco AnyConnect which works without issue - one difference between these is AC doesn't require the subject mapped to the user, rather just that there is a user cert there that matches the root cert on the appliance.

    Can you show us what you mean by mapped to the user? Are you using  user or peer group?
