Internal server error: Unable to generate new self-signed RSA certificate. (generate)

Openfire 4.6.3 - 4.6.4
Hello. In the admin console (Identity store), I click on the link to generate a self-signed SSL certificate. But I get an error: “Internal server error: Unable to generate new self-signed RSA certificate. (generate)

In the log, I only see the INFO messages:

A regular certificate is also not imported through the web interface. I get the error: “There was an error while trying to import the private key and signed certificate. Internal server error: Unable to install a certificate into an identity store.

Importing the certificate through the keytool works, but the HTTP bind still does not work. Error: “ERR_SSL_VERSION_OR_CIPHER_MISMATCH”.

But before that, about a year and earlier, everything worked. I get this error after updating Openfire to a new version.

How can I find out the cause of these errors?

This is caused by a change in the browser that you are using when establishing the HTTP bind connection. Recently, browsers have become more ‘strict’ - they do no longer allow you to set up an encrypted connection using SSL/TLS versions that are older, or ciphers that are considered less secure.

The TLS versions and ciphers that are exposed by Openfire depend on the versions that are provided by the version of Java that you’re using to run Openfire (unless you’ve modified things manually, but that’s rarely the case). A simple solution might be to update Java.

Thank you very much for your reply! I installed Java 11 (OpenJDK) and now everything is fine.

sudo apt install openjdk-11-jdk

Chgange used version:

sudo update-alternatives --config java
