[gnutls-help] unexpected GnuTLS error -9 in nsd_gtls.c:530: A TLS packet with unexpected length was received.

[Mike Grant]

Hi,

I'm very new to this so please forgive me if this ends up in the wrong section or if I'm asking a dumb question!

I'm trying to implement rsyslog over TLS on CentOS6. I've been using the instructions on page https://nacko.net/securing-your-syslog-server-with-tls-ssl-in-centos-6-rhel-6/ to use self-signed certificates.

I've enabled debug logging and everything appears to startup Ok.

When I connect from another system, I'm not getting any certificate errors on that system. The SSL Handshake appears to go OK.

I'm sending a syslog entry using some homegrown C code. It appears to send Ok but nothing appears in the syslog on the CentOS6 system.

I see in the debug log file the message "unexpected GnuTLS error -9 in nsd_gtls.c:530: A TLS packet with unexpected length was received", followed by "netstream session 0x7f4ff0008da0 from 192.168.2.76 will be closed due to error"

Anybody have an idea what may be causing this?
