Thanks for the fast response Emmanuel,

Although I was able to build 2.2.0-SNAPSHOT, it doesn't seem to be API compatible with 2.1.3.

Things that I ran into:

  * SslFilter.DISABLE_ENCRYPTION_ONCE no longer exists (which we use to
    implement StartTLS).

Yes, it was a source of problem. The way we deal with the requirement to send the StartTLS response in clear text *before* setting the SslFilter now is to use a dedicated filter. here is what we do in Apache Diectory Server:

public class StartTlsFilter extends IoFilterAdapter
{
    /**
     * {@inheritDoc}
     */
    @Override
public void filterWrite( NextFilter nextFilter, IoSession session, WriteRequest writeRequest ) throws Exception
    {
if ( writeRequest.getOriginalMessage() instanceof StartTlsResponse )
        {
            // We need to bypass the SslFilter
            IoFilterChain chain = session.getFilterChain();

            for ( IoFilterChain.Entry entry : chain.getAll() )
            {
                IoFilter filter = entry.getFilter();

                if ( filter instanceof SslFilter )
                {
entry.getNextFilter().filterWrite( session, writeRequest );
                }
            }
        }
        else
        {
            nextFilter.filterWrite( session, writeRequest );
        }
    }
}

This is pretty straight forward: when we go through this filter with a StartTLS response message, we bypass the SslFilter, otherwise we call it.


  * SslFilter.SSL_SESSION no longer exists. Is SslFilter.SSL_SECURED a
    drop-in replacement?

Yes. For instance, in FtpServer:

        if (getFilterChain().contains(SslFilter.class)) {
SSLSession sslSession = (SSLSession)getAttribute(SslFilter.SSL_SECURED);


  * SslFilter.setUseClientMode(boolean) no longer exists.

It's computed automatically:

        sslEngine.setUseClientMode(!session.isServer());

You may want to add the isServer() method in your IoSession implementation, but by default it's defined in the AbstractIoSession to be :


    @Override
    public boolean isServer() {
        return (getService() instanceof IoAcceptor);
    }


WIth all that commented out, I'm still getting errors, but I'm not sure if that's the same error, or if I'm now seeing a new error because I broke StartTLS (which our test depends on)

Most certainly it's broken because of teh lack of clear text response before the filter is set. See the added filter upper.

    Hi Guus,

    I have successfully ran Apache Directory LDAP API and Server with MINA
    2.2.0-SNAPSHOT, which has a fully rewritten SSL handling code.

    It seems there are some kind of race condition in MINA 2.0.X/2.1.X
    and I
    expect MINA 2.2.X solve this issue.

    Could you give it a try ? You'll have to build the 2.2.X branch:

    $ git clone -b 2.2.X https://gitbox.apache.org/repos/asf/mina.git
    <https://gitbox.apache.org/repos/asf/mina.git> mina-2.2.X
    $ cd mina-2.2.X
    $ mvn clean install

    Just let me know if it's any better...
