I am building a Java EE web application that has a component that connects to a remote server through REST. Unfortunately this server has some problems with the SSL certificates atm which isn't getting fixed until a later date.
From what I found on google is that I should disable SNI on the JVM to temporary "fix" the issue of the handshake alert error, but I don't know how you do this on Websphere Liberty Profile. Anyone know how to do this or knows a better solution?
You should try -Djsse.enableSNIExtension=false. In Liberty, you can put that in your $servername/jvm.options
jsse.enableSNIExtension system property. Server Name Indication (SNI) is a TLS extension, defined in RFC 4366. SNI enables TLS connections to virtual servers, in which multiple servers for different network names are hosted at a single underlying network address. Some very old SSL/TLS vendors might not support SSL/TLS extensions. In this case, set this property to false to disable the SNI extension.
