This produced a lot of output. In the middle of the output was the following:
verify error:num=20:unable to get local issuer certificate
verify return:0
You are missing a root certificate, and it should be specified either with -CAfile
or with -CApath
.
However, you may encounter a handshake alert after you fix the root certificate issue. I believe its a client certificate issue caused by me not having one (hence you may not experience it). Below, 0x14094410 is the OpenSSL error, and the SSL error (from the TLS protocol) is simply SSL alert number 40
. Alert 40 is the handshake alert, and there's no additional information.
First
Determine the root you need:
$ openssl s_client -connect gateway.sandbox.push.apple.com:2195
CONNECTED(00000003)
depth=1 C = US, O = "Entrust, Inc.", OU = www.entrust.net/rpa is incorporated by reference, OU = "(c) 2009 Entrust, Inc.", CN = Entrust Certification Authority - L1C
verify error:num=20:unable to get local issuer certificate
verify return:0
140067272132264:error:14094410:SSL routines:SSL3_READ_BYTES:sslv3 alert handshake failure:s3_pkt.c:1257:SSL alert number 40

So you need Entrust.net Certification Authority (2048). You can download it from Entrust Root Certificates. Its named entrust_2048_ca.cer
and it appears to be in PEM format.
Second
Now, run openssl s_client
again, but this time with -CAfile entrust_2048_ca.cer
. Notice it completes with a Verify return code: 0 (ok)
:
$ openssl s_client -connect gateway.sandbox.push.apple.com:2195 -CAfile entrust_2048_ca.cer
CONNECTED(00000003)

Third
This is kind of the old way of doing things, back when SSLv3 was still popular. That is, the POODLE attack was unknown:
$ openssl s_client -connect gateway.sandbox.push.apple.com:2195 -CAfile entrust_2048_ca.cer
You should probably switch to TLS 1.0 or above and use Server Name Indication (SNI). SNI is a TLS feature not present in SSL. You might need to force TLS 1.2 in 2016; and you can do so with -tls1_2
.
$ openssl s_client -connect gateway.sandbox.push.apple.com:2195
-tls1 -servername gateway.sandbox.push.apple.com -CAfile entrust_2048_ca.cer
Below is information from other comments and answers. I'm gathering them up for convenience. You should upvote the comment or answer as appropriate.
Client Certificate
Korbbit provides additional information below. It addresses the statement I made, "alert handshake failure ... I believe its a client certificate issue caused by me not having one". You should provide feedback for Korbbit if its helpful to you:
if you look at the tutorial again you are meant to type...
-cert PushChatCert.pem -key PushChatKey.pem
With Korbbit's feedback, the answer becomes:
$ openssl s_client -connect gateway.sandbox.push.apple.com:2195
-tls1 -servername gateway.sandbox.push.apple.com
-cert PushChatCert.pem -key PushChatKey.pem -CAfile entrust_2048_ca.cer
ca-certificates bundle and -CApath
From Timur Bakeyev, Entrust.net is a well-known Root Certificate Authority, so it's certificate comes in the common CA certificates bundle (ca-certificates
in Debian). It is usually installed, among others, into the /etc/ssl/certs
directory and, alternatively, can be referred with the -CApath /etc/ssl/certs/
option.
You can use -CApath
in place of -CAfile
as follows.
$ openssl s_client -connect gateway.sandbox.push.apple.com:2195 -CApath /etc/ssl/certs/
