New issue 66 by tcpsyn: ssl cert not respected: ssl_error_no_cypher_overlap
http://code.google.com/p/shellinabox/issues/detail?id=66

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Install verisign intranet certificate
2. Access shellinaboxd via cgi
3.

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
I would expect to see the web terminal

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
Tried latest release, as well as svn trunk with the same output.

Please provide any additional information below.
All implementations work provided I a.) Disable SSL, b.) use a self signed
cert.

I was able to get this to work, I believe it's because I had not appended
the
intermediate cert to the certificate.pem

Hi, i am on a debian lenny system and I have the same error. I tried
both .deb precompiled package and .deb self-compiled package from source.
Th certificate.pem is in the /var/lib/shellinabox directory self-generated
by installation. What can I do?

I'm running the precompiled armel .deb on a Squeeze server and the
precompiled amd64 .deb on my Testing/Wheezy laptop - the armel version
works fine, but even connecting from the same machine
(https://localhost:4200/) I get that same error.

I can't get this working... Same thing, and it works if I disable SSL, but
I really need security. On Archlinux.

Can you say precisely what you did?

Am using shell-in-a-box a wile already and using an older cert, auto
generated by shellinaboxd - it works fine. Not sure if all certs generated
after some point in the past fail. Tried an own certificate - can't bring
it to run. Anyone else still fiddling around on that ?

Same problem, until I opened the file "certificate.pem", and changed:

-----BEGIN PRIVATE KEY-----
MIICdgIBADANBgkqhkiG9w0BAQEFAASCAmAwggJcAgEAAoGBALCtdQCfbYAOM+35
...
-----END PRIVATE KEY-----

in:

-----BEGIN RSA PRIVATE KEY-----
MIICdgIBADANBgkqhkiG9w0BAQEFAASCAmAwggJcAgEAAoGBALCtdQCfbYAOM+35
...
-----END RSA PRIVATE KEY-----


Now it's working fine !
