nRF Connect SDK v2.6.1 - https_client works for example.com but not other hosts such as google.com

With nRF7002DK and TF-M (nrf7002dk_nrf5340_cpuapp_ns.conf) configuration, the sample project works for example.com:

However, replace the host with google.com and its associated CA:

  • I reviewed a similar question for an older version:  Cannot use the https_client sample with a hostname other than example.com . Was there a fix for that. Should I try non TF-M build and replace the default cipher suite?

  • Hi  Ji

    I'm looking into your issue and will get back to you tomorrow when I have had the time to look into it

  • I expect the issue is related to the following. 

    Obtaining a certificate

    The sample connects to www.example.com, which requires an X.509 certificate. This certificate is provided in the samples/net/https_client/cert folder. The certificate is automatically converted to a HEX format in the CMakeLists.txt file. The generated .inc file is then included in the code, where it is provisioned to the modem.

    To connect to other servers, you might need to provision a different certificate. See Certificates for more information.

    Regards

  • Yes. I did export the certificate from google.com. Here is the file content:

    The error I got was with this certificate.

  • Hi

    Could you try this

    The issue was fixed by setting CONFIG_MBEDTLS_MPI_MAX_SIZE to 512.

    • The Kconfig variable is the mbedTLS internal buffer size.
    • The nRF Security default is 384 / 256.
    • Google uses a RSA 4096 bits key, which is 512 byte buffer.
    • When mbedTLS finds that the internal buffer is inadequate to store the RSA key, it reports error.

    The option is specified in file 'ncs/nrf/subsys/nrf_security/Kconfig.legacy'.

    config MBEDTLS_MPI_MAX_SIZE
    	int
    	prompt "Maximum number of bytes for usable MPIs." if !(CC312_BACKEND || CC310_BACKEND)
    	default 256 if CC310_BACKEND
    	default 384 if CC312_BACKEND
    	range 256 2048

    Not sure why google.com is not happy about the HEAD message, which is typically just show the response size for GET. What response did you get?
