Bug #2239
closedlighttpd 1.4.26 does not support sha256 encoding algorithm for SSL certs
Description
I use SSL certs that have been generated using sha256 encoding algorithm.
When I connect to my server using wget, the connection fails with:
OpenSSL: error:0B07C065:x509 certificate routines:X509_STORE_add_cert:cert already in hash table
OpenSSL: error:1409441B:SSL routines:SSL3_READ_BYTES:tlsv1 alert decrypt error
Unable to establish SSL connection.
In lighttpd error I see:
2010-07-21 00:29:59: (connections.c.294) SSL: 1 error:0D0C50A1:asn1 encoding routines:ASN1_item_verify:unknown message digest algorithm
2010-07-21 00:29:59: (connections.c.294) SSL: 1 error:140890B2:SSL routines:SSL3_GET_CLIENT_CERTIFICATE:no certificate returned
Looking at lighttpd source, code I added a call to OpenSSL_add_all_algorithms() right after the library init by SSL_library_init() (this is in network.c)
This resolved my problem.

Also, about the SSL certs: they have been generate using the option -digest sha256 for the openssl req command.

afaik you could compile lighty against libgnutls instead of openssl; would this change anything?
Do we need to check for this "feature"?
(I really hate openssl. can't they just provide one "init-all-we-need" function?...)

The build environment is using openssl not libgnutls and I can not change that unfortunately.
I have not tested gnutls with lighttpd, I don't know if it would work?

Why isn't sha256 enabled by default?
Have you asked openssl to enable this by default?

That is a good question. I did not talk to openssl developers. It's an interesting suggestion as I had to do the same patch on another opensource project which depends on openssl as well.
