Faraday::SSLError for Elasticsearch - ruby-on-rails

Currently running into an issue where my background workers which are communicating with elasticsearch via elasticsearch-client are running into SSL errors inside Faraday.
The error is this:
SSL_connect returned=1 errno=0 state=SSLv3 read server hello A: sslv3 alert handshake failure
The configuration works fine some of the time (around ~50%) and it has never failed for me inside of a console sessions.
The trace of the command is this:
curl -X GET 'https://<host>/_alias/models_write?pretty
The client config is this
Thread.current[:chewy_client] ||= begin
client_configuration[:reload_on_failure] = true
client_configuration[:reload_connections] = 30
client_configuration[:sniffer_timeout] = 0.5
client_configuration[:transport_options] ||= {}
client_configuration[:transport_options][:ssl] = { :version => :TLSv1_2 }
client_configuration[:transport_options][:headers] = { content_type: 'application/json' }
client_configuration[:trace] = true
client_configuration[:logger] = Rails.logger
::Elasticsearch::Client.new(client_configuration) do |f|
f.request :aws_signers_v4,
credentials: AWS::Core::CredentialProviders::DefaultProvider.new,
service_name: 'es',
region: ENV['ES_REGION'] || 'us-west-2'
end
end
As you can see I explicitly set the ssl version to TSLv1_2, but still getting an SSLv3 error.
Thought maybe it was a race condition issue. So ran a script spawning about 10 processes with 50 threads each and calling the sidekiq perform method inside and still not able to reproduce.
I am using the managed AWS 2.3 Elasticsearch if that is at all relevant.
Any help or guidance in the right direction would be greatly appreciated, I would be happy to attach as much info as needed.

Figured it out. The problem was that the elasticsearch-ruby gem autoloads in an http adapter that it detects if one is not specified. The one used in my console was not the one getting auto loaded into sidekiq.
The sidekiq job was using the HTTPClient adapter which did not respect the SSL version option. Thus I was getting this error. After explicitly defining the faraday adapter it worked.

Errno::ENOTTY Inappropriate ioctl for device when connecting to a remote server through Net::SSH on SuSe (with Ruby on Rails 5.2.4)

My Ruby on Rails application remotely starts some scripts on a distant SuSe server (SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 15 SP2). It relies on the net-ssh gem which is declared in the Gemfile: gem 'net-ssh'.
The script is triggerd remotely through the following block:
Net::SSH.start(remote_host, remote_user, password: remote_password) do |ssh|
feed_back = ssh.exec!("#{event.statement}")
end
This works as expected as long as long as the Rails server runs on Windows Server 2016, which is my DEV environment. But when I deploy to the Validation environment, which is SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 15 SP2, I get this error message:
Errno::ENOTTY in myController#myMethod
Inappropriate ioctl for device
On another hand, issuing the SSH request through the command line - from SUSE to SUSE - works as expected too. Reading around I did not find a relevant parameter for the Net::SSH module to solve this.
Your suggestions are welcome!
I finally found out that the message refers to the operating mode of SSH: it requires a sort of terminal emulation - so called pty - wrapped into a SSH chanel.
So I implemented it this way:
Net::SSH.start(remote_host, remote_user, password: remote_password) do |session|
session.open_channel do |channel|
channel.request_pty do |ch, success|
raise "Error requesting pty" unless success
puts "------------ pty successfully obtained"
end
channel.exec "#{#task.statement}" do |ch, success|
abort "could not execute command" unless success
channel.on_data do |ch, data|
puts "------------ got stdout: #{data}"
#task.update_attribute(:return_value, data)
end
channel.on_extended_data do |ch, type, data|
puts "------------ got stderr: #{data}"
end
channel.on_close do |ch|
puts "------------ channel is closing!"
end
end
end
### Wait until the session closes
session.loop
end
This solved my issue.
Note:
The answer proposed above was only a part of the solution. The same error occured again with this source code when deploying to the production server.
The issue appears to be the password to the SSH target: I retyped it by hand instead of doing the usual copy/paste from MS Excel, and the SSH connection is now successful!
As the error raised is not a simple "connection refused", I suspect that the password string had a specific character encoding, or an unexpected ending character.
As the first proposed solution provides a working example, I leave it there.

Why is elasticserach-rails suddenly raising Faraday::ConnectionFailed (execution expired)?

I'm using Elasticsearch in a Rails app via the elasticsearch-model and elasticsearch-rails gems.
Everything was previously working fine, but after some updates I am now getting a Connection Failed error whenever I attempt to interact with the remote cluster (AWS Elasticsearch).
> MyModel.__elasticsearch__.create_index! force: true
=> Faraday::ConnectionFailed (execution expired)
I'm struggling to work out what is causing this connection error. After searching for similar issues, I've adjusted timeouts and tried various combinations of http, https and naked urls, but no success.
What is a sensible way to debug this connection error?
My Elasticsearch is initialized like this.
#initializers/elasticsearch.rb
require 'faraday_middleware'
require 'faraday_middleware/aws_sigv4'
credentials = Aws::Credentials.new(
ENV.fetch('AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID'),
ENV.fetch('AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY')
)
config = {
url: ENV.fetch('AWS_ELASTICSEARCH_URL'),
retry_on_failure: true,
transport_options: {
request: { timeout: 10 }
}
}
client = Elasticsearch::Client.new( config ) do |f|
f.request :aws_sigv4, credentials: credentials, service: 'es', region: ENV.fetch('AWS_ELASTICSEARCH_REGION')
end
Elasticsearch::Model.client = client
It turns out that there were two parts to this issue.
First, the Elasticsearch::Client, as configured above, was using the default ES port 9200. My ES is hosted on AWS, which appears to not expose this port.
After fixing this, I ran into the second issue (which I suspect is more specific to this app). I started getting a Faraday::ConnectionFailed (end of file) error. I don't know what caused this, but configuring the client with host and scheme fixed it.
My final config is as follows:
#initializers/elasticsearch.rb
# ...
config = {
host: ENV.fetch('AWS_ELASTICSEARCH_URL'),
port: 443,
scheme: "https",
retry_on_failure: true,
transport_options: {
request: { timeout: 10 }
}
}
client = Elasticsearch::Client.new( config ) do |f|
# ...
N.B. AWS_ELASTICSEARCH_URL must return a URL without protocol.
This is because of version issue.
Use this gem 'elasticsearch-model', '~> 5'

Httpary: OpenSSL::SSL::SSLError

I been using httparty to communicate with a API for my rails application
The problem I'm having was when decided to run it on a different server.
we kept getting this error:
SSL_connect returned=1 errno=0 state=unknown state: tlsv1 alert protocol version
its running fine with no errors with my current environment so I'm not sure what I'm missing to make it run on my other server
my code:
require 'httparty'
require 'pp'
require 'openssl'
def self.get_token
include HTTParty
base_uri = self.base_url
base_uri = base_uri+'oauth/'+'token'
response = HTTParty.post(base_uri,verify:false,
:body =>{
:grant_type=>'password',
:client_id=>'3',
:client_secret=> 'eGSjPBZV70IsJwnyjNn7EYI6vci0bGrFbJkJNVof',
:password=>'Passw0rd!',
:username=>'myemail#gmail.com'
},)
token = response.parsed_response['access_token']
return token
end `
You are getting an alert/warning, not an error. This is possible due to the fact that the TLS version you are using is not recommended because of security issues.
According to HTTParty documentation, you can change the TLS version with the following code:
ssl_version :SSLv3
Try this v3 version or v2 version and see if it removes the warning message.

Ruby XMLRPC localhost Runtime Error : Wrong Size

I am trying to connect to the XMLRPC API of a dokuwiki website.
I am successfully doing that from my own laptop, with a SSL connection, however, when I try to do it from my production server (which hosts both the wiki and the rails app from which the ruby code is executed), I run into a
Runtime Error
Wrong size. Was 163, should be 113
Here's how I initialize the connection :
#wiki = ::XMLRPC::Client.new3(
host: "wiki.example.com",
path: "/lib/exe/xmlrpc.php",
use_ssl: true)
# Temp Hack because SSL Fails
#wiki.instance_variable_get(:#http).instance_variable_set(:#verify_mode, OpenSSL::SSL::VERIFY_NONE)
end
#authenticated = false
authenticate!
end
def authenticate!
# Fails at below line :
#authenticated = #wiki.call("dokuwiki.login", ENV['WIKI_USER'], ENV['WIKI_PASSWORD'])
Rails.logger.info (#authenticated ? "Authenticated on Wiki !" : "Authentication failed on wiki !")
end
I've read many posts saying that there is a bug in the XMLRPC lib of Ruby. I was running ruby 2.1.5pxx on my laptop and ruby 1.9.xx at my server so I did a rvm install 2.1.5, yet the problem is still here
(btw, I assumed it was enough to do a rvm use 2.1.5 and then touch restart to restart my rails server, but how can I check which version of ruby it's using ?)
What is wrong ?
EDIT
On my laptop, I am running ruby 2.1.5p273 (2014-11-13 revision 48405) [x64-mingw32]
On my production server, I am running ruby-2.1.5 [ i686 ]
I tried another library, libxml-xmlrpc, and I get the following error when running the same command:
Net::HTTPBadResponse: wrong status line: "<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC \"-//IETF//DTD HTML 2.0//EN\">"
But again, the same code is running fine with the default ruby xmlrpc client on my Windows + rubyx64 2.1.5, so I really don't get it!
Edit2 : I tried adding
#wiki.http_header_extra = { "accept-encoding" => "identity" }
But then I get a
Authorization failed. HTTP-Error: 401 Unauthorized
The first call #wiki.call("dokuwiki.login", "myUsr", "myPwd") worked, but apparently it failed to authenticate me (Of course I am still using the same login information that should work)
EDIT 3
After investigation, a successful login from any other computer than localhost will set a cookie like
#cookie="DokuWiki=[small string] ; [very big string]
Whereas if I do it on localhost :
I will write [...] for random strings
#cookie="[small string 2]=deleted; DokuWiki=[small string]; [very big string]"
So I have an extra variable info stored in my cookie, which is "[small string 2]=deleted;
I believe this is what makes my authentication fails. Anyone knows what this is ???
So this localhost connection was messing up with the cookie. Apparently, even the ruby library doesn't know why, and the "Wrong size" comes from this unexpected string [random string]=deleted added at the beginning of the cookie.
Unless someone can explain WHY such a string is added, I will accept my solution of simply adding
#wiki.http_header_extra = { "accept-encoding" => "identity" }
which removes the "Wrong size" error, then
if /deleted/.match(#wiki.cookie)
#wiki.cookie = #wiki.cookie.gsub(/.*deleted; /, '')
end
To remove the beginning of the cookie

Intermittent SSL certificate verification failures with mechanize and ruby

I have a Rails 3.2.8 app, with Ruby 1.9.3 on Ubuntu 12.04. It uses mechanize to connect to an https web site.
I am seeing this error intermittently:
SSL_connect returned=1 errno=0 state=SSLv3 read server certificate B: certificate verify failed
I do set the CA file:
Mechanize.new do |agent|
agent.ssl_version = "SSLv3"
agent.ca_file = Rails.root.join("lib/cacert.pem").to_s
end
I have also tried using cert_store:
cert_store = OpenSSL::X509::Store.new
cert_store.set_default_paths
Mechanize.new do |agent|
agent.ssl_version = "SSLv3"
agent.cert_store = cert_store
end
And setting the store explicitly:
cert_store = OpenSSL::X509::Store.new
cert_store.add_file Rails.root.join("lib/cacert.pem").to_s
Mechanize.new do |agent|
agent.ssl_version = "SSLv3"
agent.cert_store = cert_store
end
These errors appear regardless of which method I use to specify the CA/certificates (including relying on default behaviour). When I run the code manually from rails console, it works fine. Which of the above, if any, are correct? What else can I do to debug this?
