John McCabe commented on BROOKLYN-200:
--------------------------------------
This is still an issue, I reached out to geoscaling.com support on the 3rd May
and they are still working on upgrading the system - didn't give an ETA for
resolution/replacement.
> Consider using other geo-DNS providers

> Key: BROOKLYN-200
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/BROOKLYN-200
> Project: Brooklyn
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Reporter: Sam Corbett
>
> Brooklyn supplies an entity for geo-DNS that uses a service provided by
> geoscaling.com. This entity is fundamentally broken because of problems with
> geoscaling.com's SSL certificate.
> This has been noted in
> [GeoscalingWebClientTest|https://github.com/sjcorbett/incubator-brooklyn/blob/02c5d33618373fc5ebe891eb485eca084391c540/software/webapp/src/test/java/org/apache/brooklyn/entity/dns/geoscaling/GeoscalingWebClientTest.java#L48-L106],
> currently disabled. When connecting to the service the following exception
> is thrown:
> {code}
> javax.net.ssl.SSLHandshakeException: Received fatal alert: handshake_failure
> at sun.security.ssl.Alerts.getSSLException(Alerts.java:192)
> at sun.security.ssl.Alerts.getSSLException(Alerts.java:154)
> at sun.security.ssl.SSLSocketImpl.recvAlert(SSLSocketImpl.java:1991)
> at sun.security.ssl.SSLSocketImpl.readRecord(SSLSocketImpl.java:1098)
> at
> sun.security.ssl.SSLSocketImpl.performInitialHandshake(SSLSocketImpl.java:1344)
> at sun.security.ssl.SSLSocketImpl.writeRecord(SSLSocketImpl.java:721)
> {code}
> The workaround is to import the SSL certificate for geoscaling.com into the
> JDK's keystore, but this is unpleasant and hardly something we want to
> recommend to users of Brooklyn.
> Further to this issue, geoscaling.com only uses the RC4 cipher. This is going
> to be disabled by all major browsers at the beginning of 2016. We will be
> recommending a service that people's browsers will refuse to sign in to.
> I've filed a support ticket stating the above with geoscaling.com. At the
> same time we should consider whether we can use a different provider for this
> entity.
