[jetty-users] SSL connection failure with wildcard certificate

[Bill Harten <bill.harten@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Browsers fail to connect to Jetty 8 when using a wildcard SSL certificate. Can Jetty be used with wildcard certificates? Any special setup?

Firefox says 'Peer reports it experienced an internal error. (Error code: ssl_error_internal_error_alert)'. Other browsers just say 'SSL Connection Error'. Many internet posts about this but no solutions.

Using java SE 1.6 and 1.7. Jetty is embedded via java methods not XML. Ordinary non-wildcard certs are working.
