Description

Observation

openQA test in scenario sle-12-SP3-Server-DVD-aarch64-textmode+proxy_SCC@aarch64 fails in
apache_ssl
Happens because gensslcert is not able to find two suiting primes as dhparams in 600 seconds and times out.

Reproducible

Fails since (at least) Build 0409 (current job)
Depends most likely heavily on worker load.

Expected result

Last good: 0407 (or more recent)
gensslcert is able to finish its generation process.

Further details

Always latest result in this scenario: latest

Suggestions

  • Quick fix would be to increase the timeout
  • Since generating dhparam's takes up much time, maybe it is a better idea to check the progress of it in some way. Checking for two asteriks (*) (means: openssl found a suitable prime) in the output should solve the problem and we can detect if openssl/gensslcert itself is maybe buggy (if it does not exit after printing two *)
