I am trying to run an openssl s_client command but it returns me a handshake failure response. Here is the command with output

OpenSSL> s_client -connect host:port -showcerts

CONNECTED(00000003) 89154:error:14077410:SSL routines:SSL23_GET_SERVER_HELLO:sslv3 alert handshake failure:/SourceCache/OpenSSL098/OpenSSL098-52.40.1/src/ssl/s23_clnt.c:593:

Can some one help what is happening here?

You are using openssl version 0.9.8 is pretty old and TLSv1.1, TLSv1.2 and SNI are not supported. And probably the target server is rejecting SSLv2/SSLv3/TLSv1.

Try openssl version 1.0 or above and see if able to show cert. details.

OpenSSL> s_client -connect host:port -servername vhostname -showcerts
