java.security.InvalidKeyException: Not an EC key: ECDH

[ghost]

I'm getting this error using the CLI send-notification :+1:

any idea what could cause this ? (I checked all parameters)

Can you post the arguments that you used to invoke the CLI application?

any idea ?

@zacoben @MartijnDwars Any luck with this? I'm stuck too on this for quite some time.

[martijndwars]

@zacoben @iyashsoni if I run the the following:

./gradlew run --args 'send-notification --endpoint="https://fcm.googleapis.com/fcm/send/e5ttgjf9uWw:APA91bF4xCa6nTcXfF3tcPvzKYjP-zYhfMtKEX7XJloZk8gWOOOMLVUOeZ8CHlcrKkNTF0QqnmfmJnswz0xD_mKtTkAI-ATHdQODTTlkG8gVTwuCCT9UbMbiRKC5G8C8Y8n4WYdzNTAv" --key="BHWgeGLDZZP8j8TkFDPOHq7T5wnUJhCxWPY0vYXYoql12-gDBvReiZTu-Q1_LcGfX_cCtF1upttWkR7toVZOUYQ" --auth="4crAtv3v_HcZaMu1O-U_XA" --publicKey="BC-p8CjeOtt6pbAtWMsxOQeSvBOyAotvDWksFAgPKts97nfMPfb1StxVvR-KTevXsRddVHZi8Cs6-Z7_mGXglDA=" --privateKey="AIAv1vSgF2OvSKIUm0EToZugo-J_8mgBA1CGvMZ64WaB" --payload="Hello the World"'

Can you provide more info so I can reproduce the issue?

[Ersmipe]

I have the same issue as OP. When I run the same code with same vapid locally, everything works (only once appeared exception mentioned in original post). When I run it on the server, this exception appears every time code tries to send notification. I think there could be issue with some incompatible overlapping dependencies, but I'll have to do some further investigation.

[martijndwars]

When I run it on the server, this exception appears every time code tries to send notification.

@Ersmipe how do you run the application locally vs. on your server? Do you build/package your application as a fat/uber/shadow JAR? I've seen reports where people packaged their application as a fat/uber/shadow JAR, which then breaks the signature on the BouncyCastle JAR. As a consequence, the JVM won't load the BouncyCastle provider, and hence won't be able to load ECDH keys.

Another possibility: Java 7 and Java 8 require different versions of BouncyCastle. If you run Java 8 locally and Java 7 on the server, but don't change the version of BouncyCastle, you may run into this problem. See this report.

[Ersmipe]

Oh, yes I am using shaded jar on server, so this will be the issue. Thank you very much for pointing me to the right direction. Java version is the same on both.

I tried using openjdk 13 and the problem went away, but I didn't understand why it throws an exception on jdk 17
