connect to rest service with qt and error SSL handshake failed

[vagelis]

I am trying to connect to rest service that has ssl certificates. I have those certificates files(cacert.pem and another file .pem) locally.
For this purpose I use qt library.
I can connect to a rest service without certificates but I cannot connect to a service with certificates.

I try this code(having the certificate in the release folder of the project)

QNetworkAccessManager *m_network = new QNetworkAccessManager(this);

QNetworkRequest request;

QUrl wapi_url=QUrl("...");

wapi_url.setPort(8082);

request.setUrl(wapi_url);

QSslConfiguration SslConfiguration(QSslConfiguration::defaultConfiguration());

QList<QSslCertificate> caList = SslConfiguration.caCertificates();

caList.append(QSslCertificate("cacert.pem")); //Root CA

SslConfiguration.setCaCertificates(caList);

SslConfiguration.setLocalCertificate(QSslCertificate("bla_bla_server.pem"));

SslConfiguration.setProtocol(QSsl::SslV3);

SslConfiguration.setPeerVerifyMode(QSslSocket::VerifyPeer);

request.setSslConfiguration(SslConfiguration);
QNetworkReply *reply = m_network->get(request);

but I get a SSL handshake failed error.
Any idea how can I pass this error and connect to the rest service?

Hi and welcome to devnet,

You can connect the sslErrors signal from QNetworkReply to have more information about what is happening exactly.

Hi SGaist,

I have already done a connection like that

connect(reply, SIGNAL(error(QNetworkReply::NetworkError)), this,SLOT(messageError(QNetworkReply::NetworkError)));

and the error I get is "SSL handshake failed" as I have already mentioned.
This is the QNetworkReply errorString.
The QNetworkReply error is "6".

I also have added a connection like that

connect(m_network, SIGNAL(sslErrors(QNetworkReply , const QList<QSslError> &)), this, SLOT(sslError(QNetworkReply, const QList<QSslError> &)));

but my code doesn't go inside sslError method.
Any idea about that?

THank you in advance!

What version of Qt and OS are you running ?

[vagelis]

I am running qt 4.8.2 in windows xp

[SGaist]

That's pretty old. What version of OpenSSL did you install ?

[vagelis]

I have installed openssl 0.9.8.
But I have tried the code also in another pc that has windows 7 and openssl 1.0.2 and the same error occured.
Do you think that my code is ok?
Do I pass the certificates by the right way?
And does anyone know a working way to call a rest service with certificates?

Hi, with openssl 1.02 I also had problems with the SSL handshake.
But when i copied the MSVC2013 runtime files msvcr120.dll and msvcp120.dll and put them together with ssleay32.dll etc. my problems went away and I could connect ok.

Hi, this post might help you, basically it says you should check you've copied also the Qt4Core.dll, Qt4Gui.dll etc. to your bin directory.
