title: javax.net.ssl.SSLHandshakeException: Received fatal alert: handshake_failure
body: <p>I am to consume a certain web service that the server guys have developed and hosted. SSL is involved, client is Axis 1x, and the certificate is not from a trusted CA.</p>
  
  <p>I think, I have accommodated everything required, like creating a custom keystore, having a custom SocketFactory, and a custom TrustManager; but still I keep receiving handshake_failure.</p>
  
  <p>Here is what I have done so far:</p>
  
  <pre><code>C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.6.0_17\bin&gt;keytool -importkeystore -srckeystore D:\mywork\test_client_cert.p12 -srcstoretype PKCS12 -destkeystore test_client_cert.jks -deststoretype JKS
  
  C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.6.0_17\bin&gt;copy test_client_cert.jks ..\jre\lib\security\
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>excerpts from my code:</p>

  <p>The server guy just has the following info for me:</p>
  
  <pre><code>SSLProtocol all -SSLv2
  SSLCipherSuite TLSv1:SSLv3:!SSLv2:!EXP:!NULL:!LOW:!aNULL:!eNULL
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>And reports:</p>
  
  <p>Access Log:</p>
  
  <pre><code>"POST /&lt;&lt;whatever&gt;&gt;/int/?wsdl HTTP/1.0" 403 –
  "POST /&lt;&lt;whatever&gt;&gt;/int/?wsdl HTTP/1.0" 403 –

  <p>Finally, some part of the SSL debug (I removed some lines from the beginning which print the certificate information. BTW, the said certificate 'does' show up in the SSL debug):</p>

  <ul>
  <li>I have tried commenting the allowUnsafeRenegotiation or setting it to true/ false</li>
  <li>Enabling or commenting out the setEnabledCiphers</li>
  <li>Importing the provided client certificate into the default keystore rather than the custom keystore</li>
  <li>SSLContext.getInstance("TLS") as well as with "SSL"</li>
  <li>SSLSocket::setEnabledProtocols with SSLv3, TLSv1, and such combinations.</li>
  <li>redoing the whole keytool operations all over again</li>
  </ul>
  
  <p>Still no luck. I am stuck at the very same error - since 3 days now!</p>
  
  <p>Would appreciate any help in this regard.</p>
  
  <p>TIA.</p>
