Why doesn't my sslstream get the certificate from a mail server?

By -

From my code below, I should be getting the certificate of the mail server "mailgw.th-nuernberg.de".

That didn't work and I get the error "the handshake failed due to an unexpected packet format" by calling the method "AuthenticateAsClient".

I tried the same code with the mail server "smtp.gmail.com" on port 993. That works and I get the full certificate. The mail server "mailgw.th-nuernberg.de" exists but I don't know why Google's mail server is working and it isn't.

Here is my Code:

X509Certificate2 cert = null;
var client = new TcpClient("mailgw.th-nuernberg.de", 25);
var certValidation = new RemoteCertificateValidationCallback(delegate (object snd, X509Certificate certificate,
            X509Chain chainLocal, SslPolicyErrors sslPolicyErrors)
{
    return true; //Accept every certificate, even if it's invalid
});

// Create an SSL stream and takeover client's stream
using (var sslStream = new SslStream(client.GetStream(), true, certValidation))
{
    sslStream.AuthenticateAsClient("mailgw.th-nuernberg.de", null, System.Security.Authentication.SslProtocols.Tls13 | System.Security.Authentication.SslProtocols.Tls12 | System.Security.Authentication.SslProtocols.Tls11, true);
    var serverCertificate = sslStream.RemoteCertificate;
    cert = new X509Certificate2(serverCertificate);
    //System.Diagnostics.Debug.WriteLine("Heruntergeladenes Zertifikat: " + cert);
}
}
catch (Exception e)
{
    System.Diagnostics.Debug.WriteLine(e.Message);
    //throw some fancy exception ;-)
}

Does anyone know what the problem is? What's the difference using the Google mail server instead of using the mail server from my University?

Spring Elasticsearch Operations

By -
Elasticsearch Operations Spring Data Elasticsearch uses two interfaces to define the operations that can be called against an Elasticsearch index. These are ElasticsearchOperations and ReactiveElasticsearchOperations. Whereas the first is used with the classic synchronous implementations, the second one uses reactive infrastructure. The default implementations of the interfaces offer: Read/Write mapping support for domain types. A rich query and criteria api. Resource management and Exception translation. ElasticsearchTemplate The ElasticsearchTemplate is an implementation of the ElasticsearchOperations interface using the Transport Client. @Configuration public class TransportClientConfig extends ElasticsearchConfigurationSupport {   @Bean   public Client elasticsearchClient() throws UnknownHostException {                      Settings settings = Settings.builder().put("cluster.name", "elasticsearch")....

Hibernate Search - Elasticsearch with JSON manipulation

By -
Elasticsearch with JSON manipulation Elasticsearch ships with many features. It is possible that at some point, one feature you need will not be exposed by the Search DSL. To work around such limitations, Hibernate Search provides ways to: Transform the HTTP request sent to Elasticsearch for search queries. Read the raw JSON of the HTTP response received from Elasticsearch for search queries. Direct changes to the HTTP request may conflict with Hibernate Search features and be supported differently by different versions of Elasticsearch. Similarly, the content of the HTTP response may change depending on the version of Elasticsearch, depending on which Hibernate Search features are used, and even depending on how Hibernate Search features are implemented. Thus, features relying on direct access to HTTP requests or responses cannot be guaranteed to continue to work when upgrading Hibernate Search, even for micro upgrades (x.y.z to x.y.(z+1)). Use this at your own risk....
