Error during SSL Handshake with remote server

The comment by MK pointed me in the right direction.

In the case of Apache 2.4 and up, there are different defaults and a new directive.

I am running Apache 2.4.6, and I had to add the following directives to get it working:

SSLProxyEngine onSSLProxyVerify none SSLProxyCheckPeerCN offSSLProxyCheckPeerName offSSLProxyCheckPeerExpire off

I have 2 servers setup on docker, reverse proxy & web server.This error started happening for all my websites all of a sudden after 1 year.When setting up earlier, I generated a self signed certificate on the web server.

So, I had to generate the SSL certificate again and it started working...

openssl req -x509 -nodes -days 365 -newkey rsa:2048 -keyout ssl.key -out ssl.crt

Faced the same problem as OP:

• Tomcat returned response when accessing directly via SOAP UI
• Didn't load html files
• When used Apache properties mentioned by the previous answer, web-page appeared but AngularJS couldn't get HTTP response

Tomcat SSL certificate was expired while a browser showed it as secure - Apache certificate was far from expiration. Updating Tomcat KeyStore file solved the problem.
