Hi All. When I’m trying to run Rest API call from readyAPI, I’m getting below error

Error getting response; javax.net.ssl.SSLException: Couldn't kickstart handshaking

I don’t know what is the error here? I’m using ReadyAPI 3.1.0, same api is working fine in ReadyAPI 3.0.0

How does end point look like? Check if you are using http instead of https.

Hi nmaro. My endpoint is looking fine. It has to be in the format of https://{ip-address}/service. Same endpoint was working fine earlier with version 3.1.0 also it is working fine in versions like 3.0.0

Using any key store / certificates? Are they expired? Just to ensure good from that front.

Hi arunbharath ,

Generally Handshake error occurs :

when there is difference in TLS of both application endpoint and soapui.

You can correct the version in .vmoptions file located in bin folder of your soapui

arunbharath ,

Add below in your .vmoption file

-Dsoapui.https.protocols=<TLSv1.2, TLSv1, SSLv3>

just specify single version which you want to use. Hope it will resolve your issue.

HimanshuTayal . Addding -Dsoapui.https.protocols=TLSv1.2 is resloved the ssl exception issue, but new problem is response is not showing up. Request went through successfully, even I’m able to see the response in the logs but not in the response panel.

The system argument details was given already in the link above; looks you missed other day.

Which service REST or SOAP ? Have you looked at xml or json tabs?

What do you get in raw response?
Are you supposed to get any payload in response?
What status code are you getting?
Worth checking with service provider or your team regarding the same if you are not seeing the expected response.

arunbharath : Great to hear you are able to successfully got the response.

Hope soapui-handshake-failure-on-https-endpoint-service link will help you on other part of not getting Response in SoapUI
