SSL Socket HTTPS - no cipher suites in common

Wed, 23 Apr 2008 01:23:14 -0700

I'm trying to get an HTTP server I've developed to work over SSL but I'm running into some problems. I've found some references online about it but I'm hoping to find someone here I can get more help from.

The SSLServerSocket is made without throwing any exceptions. The code for creating the SSLServerSocket and enabling its ciphers is given near the bottom.

When a web browser tries to connect, the server throws java.net.ssl.SSLHandshakeException with message "no cipher suites in common". Following is the stack trace:

I'm using Java 1.6 and I've enabled all supported ciphers which makes it a little odd that IE, Firefox, and Opera supposedly support none of("no cipher suites in common"). Here is the code I've used to create the SSLServerSocket:

            SSLServerSocketFactory sslserversocketfactory =
                    (SSLServerSocketFactory) SSLServerSocketFactory.getDefault();
            SSLServerSocket sslSS = (SSLServerSocket)sslserversocketfactory.createServ
erSocket(port);
            String[] suites = sslSS.getSupportedCipherSuites();
            for (String s: suites)
               System.err.println(s);

            sslSS.setEnabledCipherSuites(suites);

I haven't worked extensively with SSL but have had a working client and server using SSL under its protocol. The difference here is that I didn't make the clients. Firefox, Opera, and IE each are causing problems and I don't know precisely why.

Have you run into a similar problem with SSL before?

Do you have tips or suggestions?

Hi

I'm stuck exactly with the same problem (set up an own HTTPS-Server). Did you come to any conclusion?

Did ytou solve this problem?

No. I never solved it.

Maybe you can register with an official signing company but you have to pay a fee to get that service.
