I use a 3rd-party application that is trying to update itself (so it’s trying 
to “call home”). Naturally, I’m behind a corporate firewall and Web proxy. The 
app has been configured to use that proxy. It fails to connect. Packet capture 
reveals the following:

Handshake failed

The SSL handshake could not be performed.

Host: <remote host name>
Reason: error:14094416:SSL routines:ssl3_read_bytes:sslv3 alert certificate 
unknown:state 23:Application response 500 handshakefailed

<Our Service Desk ext. number>

Java/1.8.0_112


I must be dense today (and please, no comment about how this state might be 
more permanent than that (), but I can’t figure even which peer is complaining. 
Is it the local end (aka the application) that doesn’t like the proxy’s 
certificate? Is it the Web proxy that doesn’t like the remote host certificate? 
Or is it the remote end that doesn’t like the proxy’s certificate?

I can connect to the remote host via browser just fine…

Thanks!
