Problems with nginx accepting tls connections

February 29, 2016 01:06PM
Apologies if this is not solely connected to nginx, but I think I've narrowed it down to the connection with nginx, and how it is handling TLS connections. I'm attempting to setup nginx to receive connections from an amazon dash button (using information from http://blog.nemik.net/2015/08/dash-button-corral/). Using ubuntu 14.04 and nginx 1.4.6 this setup is working correctly, the dash connects to my server, they exchange keys (although the key my server sends is not the one that the dash is expecting, it doesn't actually check this, and then the dash connects to the page 2/b on my server, and everything is great. I recently upgraded to Ubuntu 15.10 with nginx 1.9.3 and something is going wrong with the TLS/SSL connection. With the same setup, my server appropriately responds to the page 2/b if I get or put there manually (from a browser, etc.) but the dash is never able to connect.

I've run ssldump on both setups, and it looks like on nginx 1.9.3 the connection never gets further than ServerHelloDone before the TCP FIN are sent from client to server and server to client, no client key is exchanged, and no data is exchanged (I've added output from ssldump with each below). Is this an nginx configuration issue? Is there anyway I can configure nginx/openssl so that these connections can go through like they did with previous setups?

I'm happy to provide more detailed configuration, log files, or other information if needed. Thank you in advance for your help.
