[rabbitmq-discuss] Error with SSL

Tue May 20 17:16:42 BST 2014

I'm attempting to configure RabbitMQ with SSL using client certificates for 
authentication on a windows server 2012 x64 box.  The Erlang version 
installed is OTP 17.0 for Windows x64, 
Configuration is as such:
 {rabbit,  [ 
    {ssl_listeners, [5671]},
    {auth_mechanisms, ['EXTERNAL']},
    {auth_backends, [rabbit_auth_backend_ldap, 
rabbit_auth_backend_internal]},
    {ssl_options, [{cacertfile,"D:\\RabbitMQ\\certs\\cacert.pem"},
                  {certfile,"D:\\RabbitMQ\certs\\rabbit.pem"},
                  {keyfile,"D:\\RabbitMQ\\certs\\rabbit.key"},
                  {verify,verify_peer},
  {ssl_cert_login_from, common_name},
                  {fail_if_no_peer_cert,true}]} 

  ]},

Whenever I connect, the client throws an error and the log file gets an 
entry like:

error on AMQP connection <0.310.0>: 
{ssl_upgrade_error,{options,{certfile,[68,58,92...

I've gone through the SSL Trouble shooting guide and confirmed that:

   - The certs are in the PEM format
   - The Broker is listening on the correct ports

The last bit of the trouble shooting guide indicates that "This is a 
generic error that could have many causes. Make sure you are using the 
recommended version of Erlang." Is there a version of Erlang I should be 
using other than OTP 17.0?
