Strange Error -- Bad encoding: wrong tag

Question

Hi,

On a working system, we are suddenly encountering this error:

com.enterprisedt.net.puretls.cert.CertificateDecodeException: java.io.IOException: Bad encoding: wrong tag
at com.enterprisedt.net.puretls.i.G(Unknown Source)
at com.enterprisedt.net.puretls.SSLSocket.handshake(Unknown Source)
at com.enterprisedt.net.ftp.ssl.SSLFTPControlSocket.E(Unknown Source)
at com.enterprisedt.net.ftp.ssl.SSLFTPClient.auth(Unknown Source)

Please advice as what aspect needs to be looked into to solve the problem.
Thank you in advance.

Answer 1

Could you create a log file, zip it up and email it to us? support at enterprisedt dot com

Enable logging by:

Logger.setLevel(Level.ALL);
Logger.addAppender(new FileAppender("mylog.txt"));

Set the system properties as below:

edtftp.log.puretls.level=65535

If you also are able to get a copy of the certificate and email it that would be very useful.
