I’ve configured SSL(HTTPS) on all my 18 servers. All 18 servers communicate with each other using SSL. Everything was working fine. Suddenly I got this error:
"Received close_notify during handshake"

[spnlapp01390.europe.intranet:8443/TCServer/TCHealthCheck] -> Reason :
Received close_notify during handshake #3996073076
The strange thing is after application restart, its working fine. I’ve no idea about this cause. In which scenario this can happen? Is this because of a network issue?
The close_notify is message sent by SSL stack to indicate termination of the connection. Without some more data to look at such as network trace, it is very hard (if at all possible) to have a definite reason why this has happened.
