    Hi All, I am getting following error in IHS error logs
    Broken pipe: core_output_filter: writing data to the network

    SSL0222W: SSL Handshake Failed, No ciphers specified. at [15:08:52.000021670]

    SSL0271I: SSL Handshake Failed, client closed connection without sending any data. at [16:43:21.000906113]

    SSL0230I: SSL Handshake Failed, An incorrectly formatted SSL message was received. at [15:08:52.000245540]

    I disabled weak ciphers for IHS, some security scan problem.

    SSLProtocolDisable SSLv2


    SSLCipherSpec 3A
    SSLCipherSpec 34

    help me

    This error suggests that client and servers are not agreeing on the ciphers. This will occur when the ciphers are restricted and the client not able to find a suitable cipher.

    Take a look at this blog post : josephamrithraj.wordpress.com/2010/09/04...


    I suggest you to configure IHS with the values specified in the sample httpd.conf of the above blog post. They should be good for 90% of the good requests and security audits.
