[users@httpd] Getting 'no shared ciphers' while connecting to the server

[Alaka Pathy \(apathy\)]

Hi All,

 

I'm using Apache 1.3.31 with mod_ssl 2.8.17 and OpenSSL 0.9.7d binaries. I use RSA based self signed certificates for SSL communication.

My httpd.conf has the following SSLCipherSuite configured

 

SSLSessionCacheTimeout 600
SSLOptions +StdEnvVars +ExportCertData
SSLCipherSuite ALL:!ADH:!EXPORT56:!EXPORT40:RC4+RSA:+HIGH:+MEDIUM:+LOW:+SSLv2:+EXP:+eNULL

 

But, in a freshly installed server, the server doesn't accept any requests and I get the following errors repeatedly in the Apache error log

 

mod_ssl: SSL handshake failed (server 198.149.32.40:443, client 198.149.32.32) (OpenSSL library error follows)

[Mon May 23 13:37:43 2005] [error] OpenSSL: error:1408A0C1:SSL routines:SSL3_GET_CLIENT_HELLO:no shared cipher
[Hint: Too restrictive SSLCipherSuite or using DSA server certificate?]

 

I browsed the modssl FAQ and got, that sometimes regenerating certificates helps. I regenerated the server certificates, but I'm still facing the same issue.

 

Has anybody experienced such an error ? Any help is appreciated.

 

Thanks in advance,

-Alaka
