SSL handshake failed while connecting to cosmos DB for MongoDB using pymongo

Michael 31

Hi,

I created an Azure Cosmos DB for MongoDB account in azure. I got SSL handshake failed error while connecting to it using pymongo.

This is how I connect:

from pymongo import MongoClient

client = MongoClient('mongodb://<account>:<password>@<account>.mongo.cosmos.azure.com:10255/?ssl=true&appName=@<account>@')

client.list_database_names()

I got error:


ServerSelectionTimeoutError: SSL handshake failed: <account>.mongo.cosmos.azure.com:10255: timed out, Timeout: 30s, Topology Description: <TopologyDescription id: 63fd123bc7b2500fd385cc68, topology_type: Single, servers: [<ServerDescription ('<account>.mongo.cosmos.azure.com', 10255) server_type: Unknown, rtt: None, error=NetworkTimeout('SSL handshake failed: <account>.mongo.cosmos.azure.com:10255: timed out')>]>

I have tried 3.2, 3.6, 4.0 and 4.2 version, but got same error for all of them. I'm using python 3.8 in WSL 2.0. (also tried python on windows but got same error too.) I have also verified my python is using TLS 1.2.

Can anyone please help?

Hi Oury,

Probably this is not an issue on your end. I would like to know how to troubleshoot this. Seems to me it is a SSL issue on my side, but I'm not sure where the issue comes from and how to resolve it..

Thanks,

Michael

I also tried using Azure Data Studio to connect, but got "Failed to connect" error:

Michael Could you please try using the connection string in the azure portal on Mongo dB API database page under quick start.

Good morning Michael,

I seem to be having the same problems as you with connecting to the database. Could you tell me how you solved the problem? It would be a great help for me.

Thanks in advance,

Faced similar issue recently while using spring-cloud-azure-starter-data-cosmos, turns out that I needed to set the Connection Mode configuration to GATEWAY, this defaults so DIRECT if not specified, and in my case I was getting the error when the it is set to DIRECT.

I hope this helps
