Newer SSL certs on Timberwolf?

Hello guys,
Does anyone know if it is possible to update the SSL certificate for Timberwolf to suport newer SSL websites?

The error I get says something like:

Cannot communicate securely with peer: no common encryption algorithm(s).

(Error code: ssl_error_no_cypher_overlap)

What computer are you trying to run it on? When I try to run Timberwolf on my X5000, I get a DSI after a few seconds of the splash screen. I dismiss the DSI, and then instantly get an ISI. It used to run on my A1-XE. But no more here.

Hey guys,

While I suspect there has to be a way to replace the certs,
I wonder if the problem has more one to do with the various
encryption algorthyms themselves...

It looks like the last builds of TW were in 2012 and we've
gone through a lot of hacks/updates to SSL, etc. since
then.

Like with Oddity, even if the old TW could be recompiled
with new SSL (etc) components, it might open up a few
things?

But the only people that can compile it are the Friedens
AFAIK. I thought ssolie looked at trying to get it to
compile, but ran out of time/energy. It's not an
insignificant challenge.

:/

@Paul
I tried Timberwolf after long long time on my X5000, where I installed the RC3 version.

@pjs
Are there any guides on how can someone compile it?

@Paul

What filesystem do you use on the partition where TW is located?

TW still works on all os4 systems that i have tested it on including X5k.
iirc the public version of NGFS for X5000 did not work with TW so you better install it into a partition with sfs and then it should run.

@smf

First try was with NGFS. But I have a small partition with FFS which I tried it from too. I could switch that little partition to SFS and see if it helps.

@Paul

I switched my FFS partition over to SFS00. But I get the same DSI followed by the same ISI on there, too.

Fresh install of Timberwolf? I vaguely remember that the archive on OS4Depot had some missing files.

@MickJT

Yes it was fresh, and it was from the download on OS4Depot. Is there another source?

Paul

OOPS. . . should have read your links first Mick. Got it now. Thanks

@walkero

I cant get ANY SSL support on amiga os4 fe now. Can anyone please help me? I installed the Amissl from os4 depot but I still get SSL/Cert errors. Its frustrating. I end up booting into Morphos and use Odyessey

@magnetic

I believe the problem you have is that you need to have
applications that are NOT using the latest SSL (etc)
algorithms.

After the Heartbeat (etc) security holes, all the
security/encryption algorithms got updated. So you need to
be running apps with new security code. That code is in
the new AmiSSL 4.N versions.

AFAIK, the web apps that use that might only be IBrowse,
AWeb, Netsurf, and the recent betas of Odyssey. An
application written for the old AmiSSL3 will not benefit
from the new AmiSSL4 code.

Obviously, a 2014-2016 build of Timberwolf, an old Oddity,
etc. will not have the new HTTPS/SSL code and will barf
when it hits a website requiring that code.

Good luck,

PJS
