Hello
I've experienced a seemingly strange error in the Leshan server. I'm implementing a DTLS library with which I try to establish a session with the Leshan server (leshan.eclipse.org,
port 5684) using PSK (TLS_PSK_WITH_AES_128_CCM_8), using an identity (testid) created at
http://leshan.eclipse.org/#/security.
If I use the correct identity, the server does not respond at all [1]. However, if I use an invalid identity (testid2), the server responds with an Alert message, telling me the handshake failed
[2].
To try to figure out if there's something wrong with the calculations, a college of mine installed a Leshan server (https://github.com/gebart/leshan-docker)
hoping to find something in the logs. After creating the same identity/key pair, the server displayed the same behavior as described above. However, looking at the logs [3], a strange error appears:
Aug 09, 2017 10:53:14 PM org.eclipse.californium.scandium.DTLSConnector terminateOngoingHandshake
INFO: Aborting handshake with peer [/90.224.165.60:5684]: Cannot authenticate client, identity [testid] is unknown
The error seems inverted somehow. It's when the correct id is used (testid), that no reply is returned (and the error is logged), while when an invalid id (testid2) is used, a correct alert message is
returned to the client (but nothing logged about it in the log).
What is happening here? And how do I proceed? Is the Leshan server supposed to reply? How do I find out if there's something wrong in the calculations, or if something else is wrong in the communication?
Or if an unexpected exception in the server caused it to abort the handshake (believing it was caused by an invalid identity)? Is there a way to get access to the debug log on leshan.eclipse.org for example? Or is there anybody with a working server that can
help me troubleshoot the communication?
Best regards,
Peter Waher
