SSLHandShakeException No Appropriate Protocol

Question

I recently added SSL to my website and it can be accessed over https. Now when my java application tries to make requests to my website and read from it with a buffered read

Answer 1

protocol is disabled or cipher suites are inappropriate

The key to the problem lies in that statement. What it basically means is either:

1. The TLS implementation used by the client does not support the cipher suites used by the server's certificate.
2. The TLS configuration on the server has disabled cipher suites supported by the client.
3. The TLS configurations on the client disable cipher suites offered by the server.
4. TLS version incompatibility between the client and server.

This leads to handshake failure in TLS, and the connection fails. Check one or all of the three scenarios above.
