I am trying to set up jira as a task server in IDEA IntelliJ.

I am getting handshake_failure error when I try to test my connection.

Reading about it in SO and Atlassion forums, I tried several things but none worked:

  1. downloading the certificate from jira server and installing it in intellij
  2. adding -Dhttps.protocols="TLSv1" to my .vmoptions IDEA startup config file

It happens both to my corporate jira instance and to external public jira servers.

In addition, it also happened with IntelliJ 2016.

Has anyone managed to get this working?

The problem was that the server used a cipher that was disabled in my jvm.

In order to fix, I uncommented 

crypto.policy=unlimited

in my jre <jre-home>\lib\security\java.security

see this SO question or this one for more details about security policies
