SSLHandshakeException: No cipher suites in common - spray-can SSL configuration

Question

I'm trying to install my SSL certificate I acquired for my domain from Comodo but am getting a

SSLHandshakeException: No cipher suites in common

I've read through the multiple questions on this topic but none of the proposed answers have helped me yet.

Comodo provided four certificates:

• AddTrustExternalCARoot.crt
• COMODORSAAddTrustCA.crt
• COMODORSADomainValidationSecureServerCA.crt
• STAR_example_com.crt

I'm setting up the server in a Dockerfile to isolate the problem from my local development environment:

from google/debian:wheezy
# Server binary and certificates are copied in before this
RUN apt-get update && apt-get install -y openjdk-7-jre
ADD UnlimitedJCEPolicyJDK7.zip /
RUN unzip UnlimitedJCEPolicyJDK7.zip && cp UnlimitedJCEPolicy/*.jar /usr/lib/jvm/java-1.7.0-openjdk-amd64/jre/lib/security/
RUN keytool -import -trustcacerts -alias root -file AddTrustExternalCARoot.crt -keystore /example.com.jks -storepass changeit -noprompt
RUN keytool -import -trustcacerts -alias int-1 -file COMODORSAAddTrustCA.crt -keystore /example.com.jks  -storepass changeit -noprompt
RUN keytool -import -trustcacerts -alias int-2 -file COMODORSADomainValidationSecureServerCA.crt -keystore /example.com.jks  -storepass changeit -noprompt
RUN keytool -import -trustcacerts -alias mykey -file STAR_example_com.crt -keystore /example.com.jks  -storepass changeit -noprompt

Output from keytool commands in Docker:

Certificate was added to keystore

Comodos instructions say that this last 'Certificate was added to keystore' message should be 'Certificate reply was installed in keystore'. What should I do differently when installing the domain certificate?

The SSL configuration in Spray looks like so:

trait SslConfiguration {
  implicit def sslContext: SSLContext = {
    val password = "changeit"
    val keyStoreResource = "/example.com.jks"

    val keyStore = KeyStore.getInstance("jks")
    keyStore.load(new FileInputStream(keyStoreResource), password.toCharArray)
    val keyManagerFactory = KeyManagerFactory.getInstance(KeyManagerFactory.getDefaultAlgorithm)
    keyManagerFactory.init(keyStore, password.toCharArray)
    val trustManagerFactory = TrustManagerFactory.getInstance(TrustManagerFactory.getDefaultAlgorithm)
    trustManagerFactory.init(keyStore)
    val context = SSLContext.getInstance("TLS")

    context.init(keyManagerFactory.getKeyManagers, null, new SecureRandom)
    context
  }

  implicit def sslEngineProvider: ServerSSLEngineProvider = {
    ServerSSLEngineProvider { engine =>
      engine.setEnabledCipherSuites(Array("TLS_RSA_WITH_AES_256_CBC_SHA"))
      engine.setEnabledProtocols(Array("SSLv3", "TLSv1"))
      engine
    }
  }
}

Server Boot:

object Server extends SimpleRoutingApp with SprayJsonSupport with SslConfiguration {
  def apply(config: Configuration, router: ActorRef)(implicit actorSystem: ActorSystem) = {
    val settings = ServerSettings(actorSystem).copy(sslEncryption = true)
    startServer("0.0.0.0", config.notifyPort, serviceActorName = "notify-server", settings = Some(settings)) {
      path("ping") {
        complete("OK")
      }
    }
  }
}

I've followed Comodos instructions to a tee EXCEPT for the alias setting. I'm not 100% sure if I should be setting the domain alias to 'mykey' or something else. Could this be the problem?

Any help with this problem would be greatly appreciated!

Answer 1

The problem was resolved when I followed these instructions to install the certificate and private key in the keystore. I was following instructions that assumed this step had already been done.
