Getting ssl error while trying to create httpclient

elastic78 · August 18, 2020, 1:17am

I am getting the below error while trying to create new http client in 7.8.1 version. Please help.
code : RestHighLevelClient client = new RestHighLevelClient(RestClient. builder ( new HttpHost(getLocalHost(), getPort(), "http")));
Caused by: java.lang.IllegalStateException: could not create the default ssl context

You can try this:

final CredentialsProvider credentialsProvider = new BasicCredentialsProvider();
    credentialsProvider.setCredentials(
        AuthScope.ANY, new UsernamePasswordCredentials(username, password));
    RestClientBuilder restClientBuilder = RestClient
        .builder(new HttpHost(ip, port, "http"))
        .setHttpClientConfigCallback(new RestClientBuilder.HttpClientConfigCallback() {
          @Override
          public HttpAsyncClientBuilder customizeHttpClient(HttpAsyncClientBuilder httpAsyncClientBuilder) {
            return httpAsyncClientBuilder.setDefaultCredentialsProvider(credentialsProvider);
          }
        });
    client = new RestHighLevelClient(restClientBuilder);

Thanks for the reply. We are replacing transportclient/ssl plugin with resthighlevelclient and planning to use stunnel. we don't use any username/password. Why is this required.

sunxi · August 18, 2020, 5:41am

I saw ssl in your description，and I thought you configured ssl in your ES cluster and kibana

elastic78 · August 18, 2020, 6:00am

we had it configured but I have removed the ssl plugin and just using RestClient. Do you know from where is the http connection trigerring this SSL.

elastic78 · August 18, 2020, 6:18am

the RestClientBuilder createHttpClient uses SSL. Is there anyway we can avoid SSL to build this CLient. We do not want to use SSL and use stunnel instead
private CloseableHttpAsyncClient createHttpClient() {
//default timeouts are all infinite
RequestConfig.Builder requestConfigBuilder = RequestConfig.custom()
.setConnectTimeout(DEFAULT_CONNECT_TIMEOUT_MILLIS)
.setSocketTimeout(DEFAULT_SOCKET_TIMEOUT_MILLIS);
if (requestConfigCallback != null) {
requestConfigBuilder = requestConfigCallback.customizeRequestConfig(requestConfigBuilder);
}

    try {
        HttpAsyncClientBuilder httpClientBuilder = HttpAsyncClientBuilder.create().setDefaultRequestConfig(requestConfigBuilder.build())
            //default settings for connection pooling may be too constraining
            .setMaxConnPerRoute(DEFAULT_MAX_CONN_PER_ROUTE).setMaxConnTotal(DEFAULT_MAX_CONN_TOTAL)
            .setSSLContext(SSLContext.getDefault())
            .setTargetAuthenticationStrategy(new PersistentCredentialsAuthenticationStrategy());
        if (httpClientConfigCallback != null) {
            httpClientBuilder = httpClientConfigCallback.customizeHttpClient(httpClientBuilder);
        }

        final HttpAsyncClientBuilder finalBuilder = httpClientBuilder;
        return AccessController.doPrivileged((PrivilegedAction<CloseableHttpAsyncClient>) finalBuilder::build);
    } catch (NoSuchAlgorithmException e) {
        throw new IllegalStateException("could not create the default ssl context", e);
    }
}

If your cluster don't use ssl and your cluster configurations are correct, maybe you can try this:
https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/client/java-rest/7.8/java-rest-high-getting-started-initialization.html

elastic78 · August 18, 2020, 6:50am

i tried this RestClientBuilder restClientBuilder = RestClient. builder ( new HttpHost("localhost", 9200, "http"));

client = new RestHighLevelClient(restClientBuilder);
but still the same issue.
Caused by: java.lang.IllegalStateException: could not create the default ssl context
at org.elasticsearch.client.RestClientBuilder.createHttpClient(RestClientBuilder.java:221)

it goes to createHttpClient and there i see .setSSLContext(SSLContext.getDefault()) is being used to build http. I think this error is due to that ssl. how can we avoid this.

sunxi · August 18, 2020, 7:01am

You can check the configuration in you cluster if there are some configuration like this: xpack.security.transport.ssl.*:

elastic78 · August 18, 2020, 7:28am

Hmm checked yml fime but nothing related to ssl is set.

In my local environment，I comment the configuration:
xpack.security.enabled: true
xpack.security.transport.ssl.enabled: true
xpack.security.transport.ssl.verification_mode: certificate
xpack.security.transport.ssl.keystore.path: elastic-certificates.p12
xpack.security.transport.ssl.truststore.path: elastic-certificates.p12

and then I wrote a demo to get the healthy info of the cluster, the code is following:

public static void main(String[] args) {
    RestHighLevelClient client = new RestHighLevelClient(
        RestClient.builder(
            new HttpHost("localhost", 9200, "http")));
    ClusterHealthRequest request = new ClusterHealthRequest();
    try{
      ClusterHealthResponse response = client.cluster().health(request, RequestOptions.DEFAULT);
      System.out.println("cluster name: " +response.getClusterName() + " cluster health status: " +response.getStatus());
    }catch (Exception e){
      e.printStackTrace();
    }

  }

there was no error in the result.

i just ran the program you wrote above in my IDE and got the below error. we are using apache license. In which file do we have to comment the xpack settings.

we have pkcs11 enable at apache tomcat level. is that an issue.

elastic78 · August 19, 2020, 12:39am

Hi Sunxi,

we are just creating HttpClient, can you please let me know why do we need SSL. The RestCLientBuilder's createHttpClient method calls SSLContext.getDefault, just wanted to check why we need SSL here. This is where my code is erroring out.

sunxi · August 19, 2020, 2:31am

maybe, I think something wrong in your configuration

elastic78 · August 19, 2020, 6:12am

Do I have to remove transport jar ; i am still keeping transport jar along with rest client. I will remove it eventually but this should not cause any issues right.
