-0x7180 - SSL - Verification of the message MAC failed

[azma1984]

Clients connect to my server over SSL and an error "-0x7180 - SSL - Verification of the message MAC failed" occurs when creating a secure connection.

Linux commands give the following:

Hi @azma1984 and thanks for your interest in Mbed TLS! It looks like you have trouble getting your Mbed TLS-based server working. Support questions should be asked on the the project's mailing list, which serves for developer discussions and community-based support.

I'm therefore closing the issue and inviting your to post your question again on the mailing list.
