SSLHandshake error in 5.3.0

I recently installed SoapUI 5.3.0 and I see it has the same issue we ran into with 5.2.0 with not supporting TLS1.2 (SSLHandshake error occurs). We were able to work around the issue in 5.2.0 by renaming the jre folder under C:\Program Files\SmartBear\SoapUI-5.2.0 and also updating SoapUI-5.20.vmoptions. But our very very large corporation has now locked down the installation folder to prevent users from updating files under the C:\Program Files\SmartBear\SoapUI-5.3.0 installation folder. I'm surprised the issue still exists in 5.3.0. Is there a way around this issue without getting access from God to modify something in the locked down folder structure?

 

BTW, Renaming the jre folder will cause a newer jre version to be found on the desktop that supports TLS1.2 or at least it did in 5.2.0. This could probably be fixed by also modifying the soapui.bat file but again it requires write access to the folder.

    I finally worked through the process of getting access to rename the jre folder in SoapUI 5.3.0 so it would use a new version on my laptop. Presto, the error is gone. There was no need to update any other config settings as the defaults worked fine.

     

    I'm surprised that SoapUI 5.3.0 does not already use an updated jre version that supports TLS 1.2 which is the recommended secure https protocol at this time.
