HandShake Failure

[Former Member]

Hi Friends.

I get a handshake failure on a client application trying to authenticate do a webservice:

I have a SAP XI 3.0 nw 2004 (6.40) with a server certificate and a client application that uses basic authentication.

I have already enabled strong encryption, applied Java Cryptographic toolkit (thru SDM), and i have installed sapctypto.dll lib.

Is there anything else I can do?

Here´s the stack trace of the client application:

Caused by: javax.net.ssl.SSLHandshakeException: Received fatal alert: handshake_failure
