Troubleshooting SSL

SSL Handshake Failure

Symptom

As the SSL server, the device fails to handshake with the SSL client.

Analysis

SSL handshake failure may result from the following causes:

The SSL client is configured to authenticate the SSL server, but the SSL server has no certificate or the
certificate is not trusted.

The SSL server is configured to authenticate the SSL client, but the SSL client has no certificate or the
certificate is not trusted.

The server and the client have no matching cipher suite.

Solution

Step1

You can issue the debugging ssl command and view the debugging information to locate the
problem:

If the SSL client is configured to authenticate the SSL server but the SSL server has no certificate,
request one for it.

If the server’s certificate cannot be trusted, install on the SSL client the root certificate of the CA that
issues the local certificate to the SSL server, or let the server requests a certificate from the CA that

the SSL client trusts.

If the SSL server is configured to authenticate the client, but the SSL client has no certificate or the
certificate cannot be trusted, request and install a certificate for the client.
