SSL handshake throwing "No common named group" exception

[hudcap]

First of all, thank you for this awesome software!

I'm running DavMail in server mode with SSL on Windows 11, using the standalone davmail version that comes with Java Everything worked fine in 6.2.1-3496 Upgraded to 6.2.2-3546, and now when Gmail fetches via POP, Java throws a "No common named group" exception It works fine when I test the connection from Python

Error log:

My web searching says this error is due to a bug in Java 11.0.11 or a specific version of OpenJDK. What version of Java are you using? Which JDK? The solution might be to upgrade either or both.

https://bugs.openjdk.org/browse/JDK-8242565 https://stackoverflow.com/questions/68380510/java-11-0-11-ssl-handshake-fails-with-exception-no-common-named-group

Thanks, I found that, but I'm using the standalone version of davmail, so I believe it's whatever Java comes packaged with davmail. Also, when I restore the previous version into my active folder, everything works fine again, which shouldn't be the case if it was picking up some other Java on the system (which shouldn't exist, to my knowledge).

The reference bug seems to have been resolved a few years ago, so it's strange that a recent update would introduce it. Unless the bug was reintroduced to a new version of Java. I tried figuring out what changed in between versions, but couldn't make heads or tails of it.

[esabol]

Standalone version of DavMail? What do you mean?

[hudcap]

https://sourceforge.net/projects/davmail/files/davmail/6.2.2/davmail-6.2.2-3546-windows-standalone.zip/download I guess I should add this to the original post

[esabol]

Ah, I don't use Windows. On Linux and the Mac (I think), you have to install Java separately to use DavMail. Maybe the standalone version for Windows just needs to include a newer version of Java or OpenJDK, but I don't know how that's packaged.

[hudcap]

Interesting. I'll try installing OpenJDK on the system and use the non-standalone version to see if that resolves the issue. Thanks! I'll leave the issue open, since I believe it's still a bug.

[hudcap]

Yup, that fixed it, thanks! Had to follow this to get davmail to find the jvm.dll, but all is good now.

[mguessan]

This means we were unlucky and onboarded a JDK with the issue on release day, anyone can check latest trunk build from Github home page?

[esabol]

Ah, right. @hudcap , can you download https://ci.appveyor.com/api/projects/mguessan/davmail/artifacts/dist%2Fdavmail-6.2.2-trunk-windows-standalone.zip?job=Environment%3A%20JAVA_HOME%3DC%3A%5CProgram%20Files%5CJava%5Cjdk1.8.0 and test it? If it works, then this issue can be closed.

[hudcap]

@esabol Just tried it from that link and unfortunately, I am receiving the same error as before.

[esabol]

Then I guess the JDK included with the trunk builds has not been updated.
