Topic: SSL connection is failing with error "No shared cipher"

I am having Openssl based Client and Server in python. I am able to communicate between these scripts without any issue. But when I replace the python client with my hardware device (which is successfully connecting to the Azure network), I am getting an error as "No shared cipher".

Using Wireshark I did some analysis. In a successful connection scenario, the Server is using Cipher suite 0xC030(observed from Server Hello). Which is not enabled in my hardware. I want to know how to enable a cipher in the Wolfssl library.

Re: SSL connection is failing with error "No shared cipher"

Hello teja.veeragandam,

Could you tell us more about the hardware device you are using? Are you currently using openSSL and wish to replace it with wolfSSL?

Here are some good references for getting started:
https://www.wolfssl.com/docs/wolfssl-manual/ch2/

Thanks,
Eric @ wolfSSL Support

Re: SSL connection is failing with error "No shared cipher"

In my hardware I am using Wolfssl in C.

I tried to install Wolfssl python library using the given commands in the below link but failed to install due to unknown issues. So I wrote my server using OpenSSL (I am ready to come back to Wolfssl if you help me in installing)

https://github.com/wolfSSL/wolfssl-py

The software that I am using on my device is able to communicate with Azure cloud without any issues. The only change I have done to my working software is the IP address to which it has to contact. So I feel that there are no issues with my device software.

I tried to print the Ciphers supported by the Server using the below command "print(context.get_ciphers())" and the result is attached

And the ciphers that my hardware device is supporting is attached. Can you please help how to add more Ciphers to my device?
In the link you mentioned, it looks very easy to remove/add features. But in code, it looks very hard.

Please help me in resolving the issue.

Re: SSL connection is failing with error "No shared cipher"

What errors did you see when trying to install the wolfssl-py library?

Enabling the ciphers in wolfSSL will not enable them openSSL, so you'll need to be using wolfSSL for us to help.
