A few week ago, I was able to install msodbcsql-13.1.9.0-1 and unixODBC-devel using this repo [https://packages.microsoft.com/config/sles/11/prod.repo](https://packages.microsoft.com/config/sles/11/prod.repo) in my SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 11 (x86\_64) SP3.

Some days ago when I ran zypper ref, I get this:

Retrieving repository ‘packages-microsoft-com-prod’ metadata [-]  
Download (curl) error for ‘[https://packages.microsoft.com/sles/11/prod/repodata/repomd.xml](https://packages.microsoft.com/sles/11/prod/repodata/repomd.xml)’:

Error message: error:14094410:SSL routines:SSL3\_READ\_BYTES:sslv3 alert handshake failure

Abort, retry, ignore? [a/r/i/? shows all options] (a):

I am already ran without sucess: rpm --rebuilddb && zypper clean -a && zypper ref

This is the zypper repos result:

Hi  
That would be TLS (=\> 1.0) and SNI issues AFAIK? Any updates applied after you added the repository?

Maybe an error at their end?

Do you see a failure from;

```auto
openssl s_client -connect packages.microsoft.com:443 -tls1 -servername packages.microsoft.com
```

Hi malcolmlewis,

Before to add the microsoft repo, first applied the pending patches, reboot, add the repo then install de unixodbc and mssqlodbc and all the process was flawless.

We just faced with the problem at moment to try to install unixodbc and msodbc in our QAS server, when trying to add the repo gets the message reported:

In our QAS server:

Also I am using Fedora 26 in my WKS and get the same result when running the openssl test.

Hi  
What about changing to tls 1.2?

```auto
openssl s_client -connect packages.microsoft.com:443 -tls1_2 -servername packages.microsoft.com
```

I tested the SLES 12 repo and it’s working…

I wonder if something has changed on your network blocking/restricting the traffic?

Hi  
I would assume it’s SLE 11 SP3 openssl and maybe changes on the MS  
server (SSL requirements).

I see in your options from the output there is no -tls1\_N

On SLE 12 SP3 I see;

```auto
-ssl2 - just use SSLv2
-ssl3 - just use SSLv3
-tls1_2 - just use TLSv1.2
-tls1_1 - just use TLSv1.1
-tls1 - just use TLSv1
-dtls1 - just use DTLSv1
```

Can the system be upgraded?

Hi,

After review the SLES 11 SP4 new’s I found this note:

3.1 What’s New in SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 11 SP4 #

New CPU enablement, such as IntelÂ® XeonÂ® processor E7-8800/4800 v3 product family, IBM z13Â (z13), and IBM POWER8 BE.

Public Cloud module and Security module are now available for SP4. These modules are independent repository channels and are included in subscription without additional cost:

Public Cloud Module  
The Public Cloud Module is a collection of tools that enables you to create and manage cloud images from the command line on SUSE Linux Enterprise Server. When building your own images with KIWI or SUSE Studio, initialization code specific to the target cloud is included in that image. The tools and initialization code in this module will be updated whenever a new version is ready, always giving you the freshest.

Security Module  
The Security Module adds support for TLS 1.2 to the applications in the Security Module repository. This allows customers and partners to build TLS-1.2 compliant infrastructures beyond the HTTPS protocol.

Now I planning to apply SP4 in my server, any advice?.

Best regards.

Hi  
Create a backup, and test 😉

Have a look at the release notes: [https://www.suse.com/releasenotes/x86\_64/SUSE-SLES/11-SP4/](https://www.suse.com/releasenotes/x86_64/SUSE-SLES/11-SP4/)

There are a few notes about wget etc for TLS 1.2.

Perhaps look at using YaST Wagon for the upgrade?

Hi,

Well, I download SLES for SAP 11 SP4 trial from [suse.com](http://suse.com), register and apply the latest patches.

As soon as I try to add repo I get:

Error code: Unrecognized error  
Error message: error:14077410:SSL routines:SSL23\_GET\_SERVER\_HELLO:sslv3 alert handshake failure

Also I follow the advice from ([https://www.suse.com/releasenotes/x86\_64/SUSE-SLES/11-SP4/#Features.Security](https://www.suse.com/releasenotes/x86_64/SUSE-SLES/11-SP4/#Features.Security)) to install curl\_openssl1 and wget\_openssl1 without sucess.

Now what I would do is to download the unixODBC and msodc\* packages and install manually.

Any workaround?.

Regards

Hi  
So can you download and access the files via the SLE 11 SP4 browser?

Maybe it’s something at the Microsoft end that’s changed?

Hi,

Yes, I can navigate using Firefox and view the files, it is very weird.

Let me elaborate a little bit: Now I am using a VBox VM with SLES 11 SP4, fully registered and patched to test.

If I connect using the celular network not our corporate network the zypper ar works like a charm in the other side when using out corporate network the command fails, we are using Fortinet appliances, but everything is “open” in the Fortinet, the server runs free.

Please, could you provide to me, some other test to validate the server connectivity?

Regards.

Hi  
So you can view and also download manually ok?

Run wireshark or tcpdump, then run openssl comand with TLS 1.2 command  
in another window and look at what’s happening over both connection  
methods.

So I’m guessing the Fortinet devices firmware is all ok/up to date and  
not silently dropping something?

Hi again,

Since my last post, I made some test in this environments:

In one Suse Server 11 SP4 fully patched(vbox vm for test) and OpenSuSE Leap 42.3 (vbox vm for test), my Prod. Server is SLES for SAP SP3.

In Suse Server 11 SP4 after apply the curl-openssl1 and wget-openssl1 ([https://www.suse.com/documentation/suse-best-practices/singlehtml/securitymodule/securitymodule.html](https://www.suse.com/documentation/suse-best-practices/singlehtml/securitymodule/securitymodule.html)), I get this openssl version:

OpenSSL 0.9.8j-fips 07 jan 2009

When trying to add the repo fails with same error message reported in this forum.

In my OpenSuse Leap 42.3 VM I got this version:

OpenSSL 1.0.2j-fips 26 sep 2016

In OpenSuse I can add the repo with sucess!!!, that means my problem with Prod. Suse Server is the openssl version.

Do you know how can I install latest openssl version in SLES for SAP 11 SP3 or SLES for SAP 11 SP4, any workaound? the curl-openssl1 and wget-openssl1 does not work in SLES 11 SP3 and SP4.

I am not able to upgrade to SLES for SAP 12.

Best Regards.

Hi,

> Do you know how can I install latest openssl version in SLES for SAP 11 SP3 or SLES for SAP 11 SP4, any workaound?

As I understand you post, you were able to install curl-openssl1 and wget-openssl1 on the SLES11SP4 machine, but zypper still reports the error.

Have you selected the new curl.openssl1 to be the system-wide default, as per [https://www.suse.com/documentation/suse-best-practices/singlehtml/securitymodule/securitymodule.html#sec.curlwget](https://www.suse.com/documentation/suse-best-practices/singlehtml/securitymodule/securitymodule.html#sec.curlwget) ?

Regards,  
J

Hi jmozdzen,

Yes, I followed the instructions using the update-alternatives, but still the problem persists.

Best Regards.
