Bug ID: 435090
Summary: No error is reported when the SSL handshake fails
Product: Akonadi
Version: 5.16.3
Platform: Other
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: IMAP resource
Assignee: kdepim-b...@kde.org
Reporter: m_loui...@yahoo.com
Target Milestone: ---
SUMMARY
Two of the IMAP servers I need to use for work use old, insecure TLS versions
that are rejected by the default OpenSSL configuration on Ubuntu 20.04. This is
a good thing and I would like to keep the configuration as it is as much as
possible.
QSslSocket emits errorOccurred(QAbstractSocket::SslHandshakeFailedError) and
immediately closes the socket. The sslErrors() list is not populated.
Upon encountering this, the IMAP resource simply tries to connect again --
endlessly it seems. It should instead provide a hint that there was an SSL
error.
See https://askubuntu.com/a/1233456 for a discussion of the OpenSSL
configuration issue in Debian/Ubuntu.
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Find a super outdated IMAP server.
2. Configure KMail to connect to it.
OBSERVED RESULT
The resource appears connected but the account doesn't appear in KMail. In
fact, it can open a socket but initiating encryption fails. New connections are
attempted in a busy loop, which can potentially trigger a temporary ban.
EXPECTED RESULT
The resource reports a failure and doesn't attempt to connect more than N
times.
