Unhelpful error messages

[MIennaco]

I'm using PyKmip for security testing. Occasionally the PyKmip server can't find the requested keys.

In the server.log I'm finding the (unhelpful) error messages:

kmip.server.session.00000247 - ERROR - [Errno 1] _ssl.c:1429: error:140940F6:SSL routines:SSL3_READ_BYTES:unknown alert type

kmip.server.session.00000247 - ERROR - [Errno 1] _ssl.c:1429: error:140944B0:SSL routines:SSL3_READ_BYTES:reason(1200)

Is there any way to improve these error messages? I realize that they appear to be from OpenSSL but can they be caught and wrapped with information about what PyKMIP was trying to do?

Hi @MIennaco, thanks for posting this issue. Can you provide more of the stack trace from this error? It should hopefully be in the logs. With that I can narrow down where the error gets thrown from in the server and should be able to wrap it with additional contextual information.

Here is an example of the unknown alert type:

Here is a :reason(number) example:

The server.log.1 file contains "unknown alert type" failures, and server.log.2 contains both. server.log.1.txt server.log.2.txt

Any progress in this?
