Boxcar Fails with SSL Error

If Boxcar fails to start during configuration and returns an SSL error, you can use the command below to test the SSL connection between a client and the HSM.

cd /opt/boxcar

openssl s_client -connect <HSM-IP>:7000 \
  -CAfile truststore.pem \
  -cert boxcar.pem \
  -pass pass:`grep "^PARAM BOXCAR-CLIENT-PASSPHRASE" params|awk '
  {print $3}'`

where <HSM-IP> is the IP address of the HSM.

Example

openssl s_client -connect 10.10.242.14:7000 \
  -CAfile truststore.pem \
  -cert boxcar.pem \
  -pass pass:`grep "^PARAM BOXCAR-CLIENT-PASSPHRASE" params|awk '
  {print $3}'`
