Why are you running on such an old OS?  How old are your Windows and Linux
systems?  Certainly not of the same generation.

Solaris 8 & 9 are no longer supported, so you can't get security patches
or anything.

I highly recommend you try at least S10, or better, yet - S11.

the /dev/[u]random on S8 is a far cry from what is in our modern OSes.

Subject: Solaris 8, OpenSSL 1.0.1e, not connecting fro our client, but can
connect via openssl in client mode
To: [email protected] <mailto:[email protected]>


I have an interesting case where I am using Solaris 8 (the patchset for which
which has /dev/urandom and /dev/random) with OpenSSL 1.0.1e.  I can see from my
truss logs that we are attempting to connect to a secure web server, but we see
nothing in the Apache log files indicating we connect.

If I run

./openssl  s_client -ssl3 -host XXX.vectorcast.com <http://XXX.YYY.com> -port 
443

we do indeed connect.  So I suspect it is something in the client code we are
using.  We are using the Qt 4.8.5 SSL client.  What should I be on the look out
for, so I can file a reasonable support request with Digia?  This code works
fine on Linux and Windows, so I don't really know at this point if the problem
is with Solaris support in Qt, or something lower level in OpenSSL (thought I
doubt the latter as openssl in client mode is able to connect).

Thanks,

Tom
