When making an HTTPS connection, let’s assume that the client threw the following exception due to a failed handshake with the server:

 javax.net.ssl.SSLHandshakeException: Received fatal alert: handshake_failure 

Applying the -Djavax.net.debug=all property from above, the failure associated with this SSLHandshakeException would appear immediately after algorithm negotiation in the logs.


Avoid exception:

VM arguments

{{{
-Djavax.net.ssl.trustStore=/home/terryk/.esg/esg-truststore.ts -Djavax.net.ssl.trustStorePassword=changeit
-Djavax.net.debug=all -Dhttps.protocols="TLSv1,SSLv3"
}}}


Program arguments it

{{{
--oid userOpenIDURL -P password --output outputfil
}}}
