Hi - I am trying to test the TLS/SSL connection for my Apache James 2.3.2 email server. When using Thunderbird as a client and connecting via TLS/SSL protocol I don't have any problems sending/receiving email. I am pretty sure that I have set up my private (self-signed) certificate on the server OK as this has been working for a long time. I wanted to use TLS/SSL for access to the RemoteManager of the Apache James server and discovered that I cannot use openssl? This is what I am seeing when I try connecting on any of the ports for the POP3, SMTP or the RemoteManager handlers of the Apache James server-

> openssl s_client -quiet -connect mydomain.com:portnum
depth=2 C = IL, O = StartCom Ltd., OU = Secure Digital Certificate Signing, CN = StartCom Certification Authority
verify error:num=19:self signed certificate in certificate chain
verify return:0
140032197080744:error:14094438:SSL routines:SSL3_READ_BYTES:tlsv1 alert internal error:s3_pkt.c:1256:SSL alert number 80 140032197080744:error:140790E5:SSL routines:SSL23_WRITE:ssl handshake failure:s23_lib.c:177:

Internal Error??? This does NOT look very healthy and implies something is very sick... Anyone got any ideas on how to fix this?

Thanks in advance for any offers of help...   Marc...

P.S. I have tried doing a lot of Googling for an answer, and while I see questions/reports similar to what I am asking, nothing makes much sense to me. Please try to keep answers simple, I am not a guru on openssl by any means!

P.P.S This is what is supplied with my openSuSE 12.3 Linux distro -
> openssl version
OpenSSL 1.0.1e 11 Feb 2013
