I am attempting to create an SSL connection to a remote server using Java 7 and I'm receiving the following exception:
javax.net.ssl.SSLHandshakeException: Remote host closed connection during handshake at sun.security.ssl.SSLSocketImpl.readRecord(SSLSocketImpl.java:946) at sun.security.ssl.SSLSocketImpl.performInitialHandshake(SSLSocketImpl.java:1312) at sun.security.ssl.SSLSocketImpl.writeRecord(SSLSocketImpl.java:702) at sun.security.ssl.AppOutputStream.write(AppOutputStream.java:122) at sun.nio.cs.StreamEncoder.writeBytes(StreamEncoder.java:221) at sun.nio.cs.StreamEncoder.implFlushBuffer(StreamEncoder.java:291) at sun.nio.cs.StreamEncoder.implFlush(StreamEncoder.java:295) at sun.nio.cs.StreamEncoder.flush(StreamEncoder.java:141) at java.io.OutputStreamWriter.flush(OutputStreamWriter.java:229) at java.io.BufferedWriter.flush(BufferedWriter.java:254) at ssl7.Client.main(Client.java:22) Caused by: java.io.EOFException: SSL peer shut down incorrectly at sun.security.ssl.InputRecord.read(InputRecord.java:482) at sun.security.ssl.SSLSocketImpl.readRecord(SSLSocketImpl.java:927)
When I rerun the code using Java 6, there is no exception. I have found references to this problem elsewhere on StackOverflow but my situation comes with a twist. The client code, which fails with Java 7 is
public class Client { public static void main(String[] args) throws FileNotFoundException, IOException, ClassNotFoundException { try { SSLSocketFactory sslsocketfactory = (SSLSocketFactory) SSLSocketFactory.getDefault(); SSLSocket sslsocket = (SSLSocket) sslsocketfactory.createSocket("login.solon.com", 443); OutputStream outputstream = sslsocket.getOutputStream(); OutputStreamWriter outputstreamwriter = new OutputStreamWriter(outputstream); BufferedWriter bufferedwriter = new BufferedWriter(outputstreamwriter); bufferedwriter.write("hello\n"); bufferedwriter.flush(); } catch (Exception exception) { exception.printStackTrace(); } } }
When I add the line
sslsocket.setEnabledCipherSuites(new String[] {"SSL_RSA_WITH_RC4_128_MD5"});
after creating the socket, it works.
now, SSL_RSA_WITH_RC4_128_MD5
exists in the original set of cipher suites so all I've done is add restrictions. Restricting the cipher suites is not a viable solution in the long run. Can anyone explain what is going on here?
