GnuTLS 2.8 TLS 1.2 support is not complete and disabled by default. GnuTLS 2.10 was the first release that added complete TLS 1.2 support.

Copied from Red Hat Bugzilla:
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=707266

Description of problem:
Fedora 14 server - GnuTLS 2.8.6
Fedora 15 client - GnuTLS 2.10.5

The server is initialized with the following priorities:
"NONE:+VERS-TLS1.2:+AES-256-CBC:+RSA:+SHA1:+COMP-DEFLATE"

When the client attempts to connect the attempt fails with "handshake failed"
as the reason. When I change the server to be:
"NONE:+VERS-TLS1.1:+AES-256-CBC:+RSA:+SHA1:+COMP-DEFLATE"
the connection succeeds. TLS 1.0 also works.


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
gnutls-2.8.6-2.fc14.x86_64
gnutls-2.10.5-1.fc15.x86_64


How reproducible: Always


Steps to Reproduce:
1. Setup GnuTLS 2.8.6 server with the priorities above.
2. Setup GnuTLS 2.10.5 client with the same priorities.
3. Attempt to connect to the server.

Actual results:
Handshake failure.


Expected results:
Connection succeeds.

Additional info:
If I connect to a 2.10.5 server with the 2.10.5 client, it succeeds. It seems
there is some incompatibility between 2.8 and 2.10.
