javax.net.ssl.SSLHandshakeException: Received fatal alert: handshake_failure [duplicate]

Question

I am posting this question after trying many options from two days. Below are the options I tried.

1. Disable ssl certificate validation
2. By downloading crt from browser and converting to .jks and importing keystore.

Still I am getting this issue, any help very much appreciated in advance.
