Unable to connect to an HTTPS endpoint

[younes-io]

Describe the Bug

I have written and run this snippet as Zeebe Modeler uses zeebe-node under the hood:

const zbc = new ZBClient('0.0.0.0:50051', {
	oAuth: {
	  url: 'http://127.0.0.1:4000/token',
	  audience: '***********************************',
	  clientId: '***********************************',
	  clientSecret: '****************************************',
	  cacheOnDisk: true,
	},
	useTLS: true,
});

Here are the logs:

10:52:30.488 | zeebe | INFO: [topology]: 14 UNAVAILABLE: failed to connect to all addresses
E0423 10:52:31.487000000 12952 ssl_transport_security.cc:1245] Handshake failed with fatal error SSL_ERROR_SSL: error:100000f7:SSL routines:OPENSSL_internal:WRONG_VERSION_NUMBER.

However, when I do useTLS: false, it does work ! I have another endpoint in HTTPS, and it only works when useTLS is set to false, otherwise, I get the error above!

Steps to Reproduce

1. Open Zeebe Modeler, and pick OAuth
2. Enter your OAuth credentials
3. Check Zeebe Modeler logs:
   • Windows: C:\Users\yourUser\AppData\Roaming\zeebe-modeler\Zeebe Modeler\logs\log.log
   • MacOS: ~/Library/Logs/Zeebe Modeler/log.log

Expected Behavior

The same behavior as when the authentication method is set to None.

Environment

• OS: Windows 10 10.0.1904
• Zeebe Modeler Version: 0.12
• Node: 12.18.3
• npm: 6.14.9
• Chrome: 90.0.4430.85

Thanks for reporting this @younes-io.

What version of the zeebe-node library is in the package.json of your project?

[younes-io]

Hello @jwulf ,

In the package.json, I have this "zeebe-node": "^0.23.2"

We've already discussed the issue of fetching token via an insecure, http connection: https://forum.camunda.io/t/an-authentication-issue-in-zeebe-modeler-oauth/2164/6?u=barmac

However, when I do useTLS: false, it does work ! I have another endpoint in HTTPS, and it only works when useTLS is set to false, otherwise, I get the error above!

This might be related to grpc/grpc#9538.

const zbc = new ZBClient('0.0.0.0:50051', {
oAuth: {
url: 'http://127.0.0.1:4000/token',
audience: '',
clientId: '',
clientSecret: '****************************************',
cacheOnDisk: true,
},
useTLS: true,
});

I would expect this one to fail, since it is using http. Does this server have TLS enabled?

If it does not, then useTLS: false is the correct setting.

For your endpoint that uses HTTPS (TLS-enabled), you say that it works when you set useTLS: false and fails when you set useTLS: true - is that correct?

@jwulf I think this can be closed
