SSL routines:OPENSSL_internal:SSLV3_ALERT_HANDSHAKE_FAILURE

If you encounter such an error, there are at least two reasons:

  • Incompatible version of boring-ssl library.
  • Private key problem. For example, we wrote our own KeyManager implementation and the getPrivateKey() method returns null, or there is no such private key at all.
