SSLException: Unrecognized SSL message, plaintext connection

Hi,

 

I want to setup SSL for a mockservice so I followed the different steps in Securing mockservices.

I created a keystore using jdk1.7.0_21. I entered passwords and as CN I used localhost since I send the message to a localhost.

Next I filled in the SSL preferences:

When I run the mockservice and send a request (https and specified mock port) I get an error in the lower left corner:

Error getting response;javax.net.ssl.SSLException: Unrecognized SSL message, plaintext connection.

 

How can I make this work? What am I missing...

Thanks in advance

    I did some extra testing and discovered something:

     

    I have two free SoapUI installations (5.1.3 and 5.4.0) and one Pro version. The description above is based on the free versions. When I use the Pro version everything seems to work. I can start the mock in SSL mode and send a message using https.

    When I use the same settings in the free versions I get the following error when starting the mock:

    When I change the port to a number I haven't used I can start the mock but end up with the described behaviour. When I restart free SoapUI and start the mock again I get the same error. Maybe something is blocked?

    I closed SoapUI and used netstat -a -b. Port 8444 doesn't show up in the list. After starting SoapUI I ran it again and port 8444 doesn't show up. When I try to start the mock and get the error, netstat shows port 8444 only once
