Hi, I am getting the following error while doing SSL_accept on the server side. It comes once in many tries. The error seems to come only on windows, Linux and other platforms seem to do well. The error is: .\ssl\s3_pkt.c:1146 error:140943F2:SSL routines:SSL3_READ_BYTES:sslv3 alert unexpected message I just checked the code from s3_pkt.c, which is as follows: } else if (alert_level == 2) { /* fatal */ char tmp[16]; s->rwstate = SSL_NOTHING; s->s3->fatal_alert = alert_descr; SSLerr(SSL_F_SSL3_READ_BYTES, SSL_AD_REASON_OFFSET + alert_descr); // line 1146 BIO_snprintf(tmp, sizeof tmp, "%d", alert_descr); ERR_add_error_data(2, "SSL alert number ", tmp); s->shutdown |= SSL_RECEIVED_SHUTDOWN; SSL_CTX_remove_session(s->ctx, s->session); return (0); } else { Can somebody help me understand what could be the problem? It is more baffling since it seems only to happen in customer environment only. Thanks, SJ
