javax.mail.MessagingException: Could not convert socket to TLS at com.sun.mail.smtp.SMTPTransport.startTLS(SMTPTransport.java:1930) [default task-21] ERROR (actions) [ADMN] javax.net.ssl.SSLHandshakeException: Remote host closed connection during handshake
This problem is observed only with FNO versions 2018 R1, 2018 R1 SP1 and 2017 R4. It is also observed that this problem starts popping, if the customer do any TLS related changes (For example, disabling old TLS version 1.0 and 1.1) in the network where FNO is running.
Solution:
To fix the problem there are two options:
1) To upgrade the FNO to 2020 R1 or higher versions.
2) Raise a ticket to support to get a hotfix for 2018 R1/SP1 or 2017 R4. There is a readily available hotfix for these versions of FNO.
