Why I am getting javax.net.ssl.SSLException in SOAP UI Free and how to resolve this?

[John_smith]

While making a GET method call through SOAP UI Open source I am getting the below error message, but surprisingly this is working absolutely fine in ReadyAPI.

Error Message:

ERROR:Exception in request: javax.net.ssl.SSLException: Received fatal alert: protocol_version
ERROR:An error occurred [Received fatal alert: protocol_version], see error log for details

You can attach your log to provide more information, but I assume the issue can be that the target endpoint uses a version of SSL which is not supported by your SoapUI. 

You can configure supported versions of SSL in your SoapUI-5.2.1.vmoptions file, by adding a line e.g.:

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

This solution really helped to solve the issue. After making the suggested changes you must save and close soapUI. Reopen and try the same call and it works.

Thanks KarelHusa..
