Cause of TLS Handshake failed when attemtpting to make TLS call

I am attempting to make a secure call between two virtual machines using pjsua program from pjsip installation. I start the program on each node via :

pjsua-x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu --use-tls

I then enter m to make call and submit : sip:xxx.xxx.xx.x:5061;transport=TLS

On the receiving side I see : Handshake failed in accepting xxx.xxx.xx.x:58392: no shared cipher

On the dialing side I am seeing : Failed to send Request msg INVITE/cseq=17559 (tdta0x1ab89e0)! err=495040 (sslv3 alert handshake failure)

Can anyone help me to understand why this is happening?

Looks like there is a mismatch between the cipher configuration of the server(receiving side in your case) and client (dialing side in your case).

The error no shared cipher (alert 40) says that there is not at least any one of the cipher used by client available at the server side

You need to look into the call for SSL_CTX_set_cipher_list (If you are using OpenSSL) API on both the ends.

Try to configure the common cihpers on both client and server machines.

Some times you may get the same error (no chared cipher) for unavailability of the cipher which is used by public certificates. better verify the first step then verify your certificate algorithm.

I too had faced the similar problem for my client server configuration.

here is a reference:

"no shared cipher" error with python and OpenSSL
