[Solved] SSL Handshake exception calling a secure webservice

Hello, I'm trying to use Soap UI to connect to a secure SOAP web service, for which there should be a registered certificate.   The wsdl address is: https://129.152.40.43/AIOSCInt-OSC-Account-outb...

    The issue has been solved.

    The server was accepting only TLS 1.2, while Soap UI was using TLS 1.0.

I was also getting a similar error:
javax.net.ssl.SSLHandShakeException:Recieved fatal alert: handshake_failure

This can be for different reasons too. For me, the issue was fixed after updating the Ciphers.java (http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/downloads/jce8-download-2133166.html) 

Basically, I had to replace two .jar files and restart the application.


C:\Program Files\SmartBear\ReadyAPI-2.2.0\jre\lib\security
 >> local_policy.jar 
>> US_export_policy.jar

 

We had some changes to cypher and this issue could have been avoided if SmartBear can provide the latest JCE with updates to ReadyAPI.
