SSL handshake error

I have noticed in SOAPUI Pro 3.0.1 that when I test SSL connections I sometimes have to close/open SOAPUI to get the SSL handshake to complete.

It usually works the first time and then stops working until I close/open SOAPUI - has anyone else had this issue?

Thanks,

Jim Cusack

    Hi,

    I had been using 1.1 but i tried 1.0 and it didn't seem to change the behaviour with this error.

    Hi All,

    I've updated to 3.5 final - the error persists.

    I've noticed something, i'm not sure if its significant or not - i have a test case with 16 test steps.
    The test tests are SOAP requests for 16 operations from the same WSDL.

    Everytime i execute the test case, the first 12 steps succeed and the 13th fails with the SSL exception.
    No matter which order i place the steps in - the 13th and following steps executed will fail.

    Ok, I have this same problem and even though I don’t have a fix I have some interesting information.  The problem occurs on my second https request every time.  A SOAPUI restart is required to make it go away.  I downloaded the src to see if I couldn’t figure out the problem.  Here is the interesting part, if I run so the application from the main method in eclipse the problem never occurs.  And what is the difference?  The only thing I can see is that my eclipse is starting in java 1.5 and not 1.6.  So, maybe that can get someone pointed down the right path.

    Hi,

    I've tried using the latest nightly build of SOAPUI 3.5 with 1.5, and it does not make any difference to my experience with this error.

    I would like to recommend to my company that we buy a PRO licence because i find SOAPUI really useful, but this bug is a show stopper - anyone have any ideas?

    Thanks,

    Mark

    Hi Mark (and everyone else...)

    So if I understand correctly it works under jre 1.6 but not under 1.5? Which 1.5 version are you using?

    regards!

    Hi,

    No it does not work under a 1.6 or 1.5 jre - i get the same exception either way.

    Hi,

    ok.. hmm.. is this with a client certificate/keystore or a public one?

    Client authenticated - i've configured a keystore and checked 'Client Authentication' in SOAPUI Preferences.

    Hi,

    ok.. can you try the following; remove the keystore from the global SSL settings and instead specify it under your projects ws-security configurations (project window -> ws-security tab -> keystores/certificates tab). Then select your requests and specify the configured keystore in the bottom left Keystore property for each..

    Does that make any difference?

    regards!
