I am running a mongodb 3.2 instance on a vServer behind a firewall (which I am not allowed to configure). Mongo is reachable (and connectable) from anywhere (bind_ip: 0.0.0.0) if ssl is turned off in /etc/mongod.conf
Further I generated a CA, a server.pem and a client.pem (to connect via mongo-shell). These Certs are working fine, since I can connect to mongod from the machine mongod is running on:
$ mongo --host localhost --ssl --sslPEMKeyFile client.pem --sslCAFile ca.crt
BUT: when I try to connect from another machine with the same Certs it won't connect:
$ mongo --host mongo1.mydomain.net --ssl --sslPEMKeyFile client.pem --sslCAFile ca.crt
MongoDB shell version: 3.2.9
connecting to: <ip>:27017/test
2016-08-22T22:29:17.632+0200 W NETWORK [thread1] Failed to connect to <ip>:27017 after 5000 milliseconds, giving up.
2016-08-22T22:29:17.633+0200 E QUERY [thread1] Error: couldn't connect to server <ip>:27017, connection attempt failed :
connect#src/mongo/shell/mongo.js:231:14
#(connect):1:6
This is strange because the /var/log/mongodb/mongd.log says that mongod is listining on port 27017 for ssl connections (netstat says the same):
2016-08-22T21:09:10.182+0200 I FTDC [initandlisten] Initializing full-time diagnostic data capture with directory '/var/lib/mongodb/diagnostic.data'

The ssl connection attempt from the other machine is not listed in the log file which is even more strange.
So I asked tcpdump:

The first reply from the mongo server has always an invalid checksum. But I really don't know if this is important or not. Actually I have no clue how to solve this an I am just hoping that anyone could help me with a hint.
cheers,
dymat
The hostname in the certificate might be different than the one used in mongo command. Try adding --sslAllowInvalidHostnames param at the end of mongo command.
mongo --host mongo1.mydomain.net --ssl --sslPEMKeyFile client.pem --sslCAFile ca.crt --sslAllowInvalidHostnames
See the mongodb connections options at https://docs.mongodb.com/manual/reference/program/mongotop/#cmdoption--sslAllowInvalidHostnames
Thanks Mehmet!
This was my first idea, too. But after talking to the sysadmin it turned out, that they had installed a application firewall, which classified SSL requests on port 27017 as not belonging to the mongodb server. The firewall expected unencrypted traffic on port 27017.
Once they reconfigured the firewall everything works as it is supposed to.
Bye,
dymat

I am trying to understand TIME_WAIT and CLOSE_WAIT.
I have opened a socket connection via Chrome console, which connects to my Java WebSocket server running locally - then closed it:
var webSocket = new WebSocket('ws://127.0.0.1:1234/support');
webSocket.close();
What I expect to see when I run sudo ss -apn|grep ':1234' is CLOSE_WAIT as it the client who has closed the connection, and should be first to send fin packet, which would have changed server socket status to CLOSE_WAIT, however, I see differently.
Tuesday 17 May 2022 06:23:21 PM IST

tcp6 0 0 127.0.0.1:1234 127.0.0.1:60672 TIME_WAIT -
Can somebody please explain what is happening?

I tried to capture packets using tcpdump and I can clearly see that server is sending directly FIN+ACK without receiving FIN.I am totally confused.
as it the client who has closed the connection, and should be first to send fin packet
That is an incorrect assumption. When the client calls close() on a fully established WebSocket connection, close() will perform a handshake that causes the server to close the TCP connection first (send the initial FIN), rather than the client.
This is described in the WebSocket protocol spec, RFC 6455, Section 7, "Closing the Connection":
7.1.1. Close the WebSocket Connection
To Close the WebSocket Connection, an endpoint closes the underlying TCP connection. An endpoint SHOULD use a method that cleanly closes the TCP connection, as well as the TLS session, if applicable, discarding any trailing bytes that may have been received. An endpoint MAY close the connection via any means available when necessary, such as when under attack.
The underlying TCP connection, in most normal cases, SHOULD be closed first by the server, so that it holds the TIME_WAIT state and not the client (as this would prevent it from re-opening the connection for 2 maximum segment lifetimes (2MSL), while there is no corresponding server impact as a TIME_WAIT connection is immediately reopened upon a new SYN with a higher seq number). In abnormal cases (such as not having received a TCP Close from the server after a reasonable amount of time) a client MAY initiate the TCP Close. As such, when a server is instructed to Close the WebSocket Connection it SHOULD initiate a TCP Close immediately, and when a client is instructed to do the same, it SHOULD wait for a TCP Close from the server.
As an example of how to obtain a clean closure in C using Berkeley sockets, one would call shutdown() with SHUT_WR on the socket, call recv() until obtaining a return value of 0 indicating that the peer has also performed an orderly shutdown, and finally call close() on the socket.
7.1.2. Start the WebSocket Closing Handshake
To Start the WebSocket Closing Handshake with a status code (Section 7.4) /code/ and an optional close reason (Section 7.1.6) /reason/, an endpoint MUST send a Close control frame, as described in Section 5.5.1, whose status code is set to /code/ and whose close reason is set to /reason/. Once an endpoint has both sent and received a Close control frame, that endpoint SHOULD Close the WebSocket Connection as defined in Section 7.1.1.
As well as the WebSockets standard, close() method:
Run the first matching steps from the following list:
If this's ready state is CLOSING (2) or CLOSED (3)
...
If the WebSocket connection is not yet established [WSP]
...
If the WebSocket closing handshake has not yet been started [WSP]
...
Otherwise
Set this's ready state to CLOSING (2).
NOTE: The WebSocket closing handshake is started, and will eventually invoke the close the WebSocket connection algorithm, which will establish that the WebSocket connection is closed, and thus the close event will fire, as described below.
I have configured rsyslogd on a remote server to send the logs from a client machine with rsyslogd using TCP protocol. After configuring and restarting the rsyslogd daemon on both client and server I am able to send the packets to the server and all works fine. But later when I restart the rsyslogd on the server the client is still sending the packets to the old TCP connection. Hence the client retries for 16 times and fails to send the packet. After the retry for sending the next packet the client is creating a new connection and the communication works fine there onward.
When I restart the rsyslogd on server using the tcpdump i captured the packets and we can see that the server sends flag[F] to client and the client acknowledges it as well. But when we send the next packet it is not crating a new connection.
restart rsyslog on server:
Server side tcpdump:
*09:54:50.012933 IP x.x.x.101.514 > y.y.y.167.37141: Flags [F.], seq 1, ack 31, win 229, length 0
09:54:50.013050 IP y.y.y.167.37141 > x.x.x.101.514: Flags [.], ack 2,
win 115, length 0*
For the very next packet send from client the server sends flag[R] but client keeps retrying for 16 times:
tcpdump from server:
*03:55:11.811611 IP y.y.y.167.37141 > x.x.x.101.514: Flags [P.], seq 31:61, ack 2, win 115, length 30
03:55:11.811647 IP x.x.x.101.514 > y.y.y.167.37141: Flags [R], seq

03:55:12.014189 IP x.x.x.101.514 > y.y.y.167.37141: Flags [R], seq
1863584583, win 0, length 0*
<this repeated 6 times on sever>
at same time on client we do not see the response reaching from server:
09:55:11.811077 IP y.y.y.167.37141 > x.x.x.101.514: Flags [P.], seq
31:61, ack 2, win 115, length 30
09:55:12.013639 IP y.y.y.167.37141 > x.x.x.101.514: Flags [P.], seq
31:61, ack 2, win 115, length 30
09:55:12.421627 IP y.y.y.167.37141 > x.x.x.101.514: Flags [P.], seq
31:61, ack 2, win 115, length 30
<this retied 16 times>
Now after the 16 retry (took ~13 min) if we send a new packet it is sending correctly.
Here we see a new session is getting created:
*10:16:43.873325 IP y.y.y.167.39859 > x.x.x.101.514: Flags [S], seq 1000783963, win 14600, options [mss 1460,nop,wscale 7], length 0

Does any one faced such issue? Can any one tell why server is not closing the connection when client sends flag[F]. Do we have any configuration parameter in rsyslogd to create a new session when server sends flag[F]?
Why client is sending data after receiving FIN and ACKed it?
TCP connection termination is a 4 way handshake, which means once a client received FIN from server, it acknowledges it and sends all remaining data to server before sending another FIN to server and wait for it's ACK to complete the hand-shake and fully close the connection.
Logs you have provided shows that, the connection is half-open when the server restarted (which it should have not done, before connection is full-close). and that's why the client is sending remaining data before completing handshake.
What is the correct way of abrupt termination?
When an endpoint is about to abruptly terminate a connection, while already some data is in transfer, it should send RST packet instead of FIN.
Why the RST packet sent by server after restart is not received in client?
It must have been discarded as already the connection is half-open with FIN packet received earlier, or it must have been discarded by client firewall for potential TCP Reset attack
I am trying to set up a gateway and a worker node on a BlueData 3.7 controller using SSH credentials.
I believe that I have met all the pre-requisites in the docs, however, I get an error trying to install the gateway and the worker in the Installation section of the controller UI:
The error I get for both hosts are:
ERROR: Could not reach the worker node.
The URL for the errors are:
http://x.x.x.x/bdswebui/logworker/?id=/api/v1/workers/4
http://x.x.x.x/bdswebui/logworker/?id=/api/v1/workers/5
I have checked the logs on the gateway and the worker. Both show:
# tree /var/log/bluedata/
/var/log/bluedata/

1 directory, 0 files
All hosts can ssh to each other without a password prompt.
No firewall is running:

What else can I do to debug?
The debug information I needed could be found in the /tmp folder on the worker and gateway hosts, e.g.

We have an software system deployed in a single GKE(google kubernetes engine) cluster node which using around 100 pods, in each pod we defined TCP readiness probe, now we could see the readiness probe periodically fails with Unable to connect to remote host: Connection refused on different pods.
With the tcpdump traces on the cluster node and the failing pods, we find that the packets sent from the cluster node seems right, while the pod doesn't receive the TCP packet, but failing pod could still receive IP broadcast packets.
The weird thing is if we ping/curl/wget the cluster node from the failing pod, regardless the cluster node has http service or not, the TCP connection will be recovered immediately and the readiness check will become fine.
An example is as below:
The cluster node host: 10.44.0.1
The failing pod host: 10.44.0.92
tcpdump on cbr0 interface of the cluster node:
#sudo tcpdump -i cbr0 host 10.44.0.92

These are readiness checks packets sent from Kubelet, we could see the failing node responds with Flags [R.], seq 0, ack 756717731, win 0, length 0 which is a TCP handshake ACK/SYN reply, it is a failing packet and the TCP connection will NOT be established.
The if we exec -it to the failing pod and ping the cluster node from the pod as below:
root#mariadb:/# ping 10.44.0.1

We could see the ICMP packets are the packets for the ping command sent from the pod, after the ICMP packets, the readiness check packets now immediately become right, the TCP handleshake success.
Not only ping could make it work, other commands like curl/wget could also make it work, just need to reach the cluster node from the failing pod, after that, the TCP connection from cluster node to the pod will become correct.
The failing pods change time to time, it could happen to any pod, since there are 100 pods up running on the node, not sure if it triggers certain system limitation, however all others work correctly, we don't see huge CPU utilization, and there still be few GB memory left on the node.
Does anyone know what the issue could be?
I was able to enable ipv6 on mongodb.
/etc/mongod.conf file has net.ipv6 set to true.
I can see that mongodb is listening on ipv6:
# netstat -anp | grep 27017
tcp 0 0 0.0.0.0:27017 0.0.0.0:* LISTEN 17967/mongod
tcp6 0 0 :::27017 :::* LISTEN 17967/mongod
unix 2 [ ACC ] STREAM LISTENING 19750206 17967/mongod /tmp/mongodb-27017.sock
#
ping6 to the IPv6 address is fine.
[root#tesla05 log]# ping6 -I eno33554952 tesla05-2-ipv6.ulticom.com
PING tesla05-2-ipv6.ulticom.com(tesla05) from fe80::250:56ff:feb4:7c43 eno33554952: 56 data bytes

64 bytes from tesla05: icmp_seq=2 ttl=64 time=0.093 ms
64 bytes from tesla05: icmp_seq=3 ttl=64 time=0.091 ms
however, mongo shell doesn't seem to understand ipv6 address.

You are trying to use a link-local IPv6 address. These are not valid without a scope, but you haven't provided one. Thus you get the error Invalid argument. For this reason, putting a link-local address in the DNS makes no sense, because the address is only valid on a particular LAN, and the scope may be different for every host on that LAN.
To use the address, append the scope to it, e.g. fe80::250:56ff:feb4:7c43%eno33554952
