SSL no cipher suites in common?

[rmacnak]

I'm trying to establish TLS over an existing socket, both the server
and client are running on the same machine with the same jre, but I
keep getting a "SSLHandshakeException: no cipher suites in common.", so
I was wondering how that's even possible.

Here is the server:

SSLContext context = SSLContext.getInstance("TLS");

context.init(null, new javax.net.ssl.TrustManager[]{
new OpenTrustManager()},
new java.security.SecureRandom());

Socket plain = socket;
// Secure the plain connection
socket = context.getSocketFactory().createSocket(plain,
plain.getInetAddress().toString(), plain.getPort(), true);
socket.setSoTimeout(0);
socket.setKeepAlive(true);
((SSLSocket) socket).setEnableSessionCreation(true);
((SSLSocket) socket).setUseClientMode(false);
((SSLSocket) socket).setNeedClientAuth(false);

//enable all available cipher suites
((SSLSocket)
socket).setEnabledCipherSuites(context.getSocketFactory().getSupportedCipherSuites());

((SSLSocket) socket).startHandshake(); //SSLHandshakeException: no
cipher suites in common

 

[EJP]

//enable all available cipher suites
((SSLSocket)
socket).setEnabledCipherSuites(context.getSocketFactory().getSupportedCipherSuites());

Don't do this, it's insecure: it enables insecure cipher suites.

'No cipher suites in common' means that e.g. you have an RSA certificate
that the server wants to use as its authentication, but no RSA
certificates in the client's trusstore, or vice versa.
