Is resolving 'SSLHandshakeException: Received fatal alert: handshake_failure' using TLS 1.2 Ciphers possible in Rest Assured?

[sandeep sethi]

Hi,
From past few days our previously working Rest Assured tests are throwing following exception:

javax.net.ssl.SSLHandshakeException: Received fatal alert: handshake_failure
    at sun.security.ssl.Alerts.getSSLException(Alerts.java:192)
    at sun.security.ssl.Alerts.getSSLException(Alerts.java:154)
    at sun.security.ssl.SSLSocketImpl.recvAlert(SSLSocketImpl.java:1979)
    at sun.security.ssl.SSLSocketImpl.readRecord(SSLSocketImpl.java:1086)
    at sun.security.ssl.SSLSocketImpl.performInitialHandshake(SSLSocketImpl.java:1332)
    at sun.security.ssl.SSLSocketImpl.startHandshake(SSLSocketImpl.java:1359)
-------

The dev team is responding that unsafe SSL Ciphers were disabled recently, so new TLS 1.2 ciphers need to updated and they provided cipher text.
Unfortunately I am not able to find any API method which can set ciphers. If anyone can show how to accomplish this it would be highly appreciated.

My simple rest code is as follows:

Response response = given()
                        .proxy(host(HTTP_PROXY).withScheme("http").withPort(8000))                        
                        .get(URL)
                    .then()
                        .contentType(ContentType.JSON)
                        .extract()
                        .response();

Not sure if you can set ciphers but I would try SSLConfig and relaxed https validation.

Hi,
I tried with relaxed validation but still no progress. Iam again getting same error.
Anyways, thanks for the response.

If you find out how to configure this in Apache Http Client then maybe I can guide you on how to do it in RA.

Hi,

Did you tried following
         

given().relaxedHTTPSValidation("TLSv1.2")
