I created service for Analytics for Apache Hadoop and while launching it fails with SSL error

SSL error message while launching

Solution

  • It is a known issue after last Firefox upgrade.

    Temporal workaround from Mozilla Support:

    1. In FireFox, enter "about:config" in the URL field and press enter.
    2. Accept the "This might void your warranty!" warning :)
    3. In the search field at the top, enter "security.ssl3.dhe_rsa_aes"
    4. Double click each result (128 and 256) to toggle the Value to "false"

    Now retry your site - it should work now. Remember to change these settings back when you're done.

    Other possible workaround is using Chrome while servers are upgraded.
