Hello Gerald! It is glad to hear that You are trying to use Harmony's JSSE provider!
I'd like to inquire if there is any intention in the future to support any
of the TLS AES type cipher suites? Now only the base Cipher Suites (described by RFC 2246) are supported. But the design of the provider allows easily extending its set of suites. The point for extension is org.apache.harmony.xnet.provider.jsse.CipherSuiteclass. Harmony's Cipher provider (implemented by Bouncy Castle) supports AES Cipher, so it won't be a problem.
If you have any other ideas on what may be causing this exception please
let me know. I think you are 100% right about the nature of failure, but detailed information (std output, stack trace) can help to analyze it accurately. Could you show it please? You may want to file a new JIRA report and provide this detailed information as an attachment for it. Or if it is more convenient you can attach zipped info here. BTW, there are some logging capabilities in JSSE provider. You can turn them on by specifying -Djsse=record,prf,socket as an option to VM. Log output could be useful in problem analysis. Thank You, Alexander Kleymenov
