TLS initialization

[eadrwlo]

Hi. Do you know how handshake a secure connection? I get this error when I tried do set config.setSecurityMode(SecurityMode.required); Exception in thread "main" org.jivesoftware.smack.SmackException$SecurityRequiredByClientException: SSL/TLS required by client but not supported by server

I know that Firebase do not support STARTTLS extension. So how to do it in the other way?

Hi @eadrwlo I had the same pending task. I found out the same thing that firebase do not support STARTTLS extension. I currently have: config.setSecurityMode(SecurityMode.ifpossible);

I am sorry I cannot help you with that because I am still looking for the solution.

So, Do you know, how it is possible our connection are not refused if we do not meet the below criteria(from FCM docs)??

The connection has two important requirements:

• You must initiate a Transport Layer Security (TLS) connection. Note that FCM doesn't currently support the STARTTLS extension.

I just noticed that if I connect to port 5235 (Production) packet goes over TLS. In other case If I use port 5236 (testing) packet are seen in TCP format. I have monitored it in the Wireshark. Moreover paramater SecurityMode.disabled or SecurityMode.ifpossible do not have any impact on this. Only if this param is set to SecurityMode.required I get this Exception (described in first post) and then probably server try to perform this STARTTLS procedure which is not supported. I suppose config.setSocketFactory(SSLSocketFactory.getDefault()); with the secure port 5235 do the job and handshake TLS is performed after XMPP initial stanzas exchange.
