[Resolved] SSL HandshakeException

Hi all,
Recently I installed different versions of SoapUI (v4.5.1, v4.5.2, v4.6.0, v4.6.1. For all the x32 and x64 version.) all resulting in the same error:

ERROR:javax.net.ssl.SSLHandshakeException: java.security.cert.CertificateException: Certificates does not conform to algorithm constraints

I did some research on the Internet (including this forum) providing me the following solution:
in the java.security file, outcomment the line containing "jdk.certpath.disabledAlgorithms=MD2".

That is what I have done, for both the program itself (SmartBear\soapUI\jre\lib\security) and the java application (Java\jre7\lib\security), but still the answer is the handshake error.
Can someone help me with this error? Is there another solution which I can try?

Thanks in advance.

    Hi mrJames,

    Thank you for your quick reply.
    I have checked the SSL Soap UI preference settings to be correct. I validated this with another soapUI user where everything just works fine.

    I do not have much knowledge about certificates, so I dont really get the answer provided in the link you gave me. Maybe you can help me through?

    Hi,
    Double checking the SoapUI configuration was not the solution for me.
    But deinstalling SoapUI + all the java applications with a total uninstaller program and reinstalling the programs did the trick for me.
    Hope this helps for others too.
    Thanks for your help.
