title: On Increasing the load on server , jmeter starts getting javax.net.ssl.SSLHandshakeException: Remote host closed connection during handshake
body: <p>I am trying to test my server through jmeter. Everything runs smoothly when there is not enough load on the server. But when I start loading the server from jmeter, I start getting </p>
  
  <blockquote>
    <p>javax.net.ssl.SSLHandshakeException: Remote host closed connection during handshake</p>
  </blockquote>
  
  <p>error for few requests.</p>
  
  <p>I suspected it to be a cipher exchange problem. But nothing seemed to work (either changing the SSL configurations on the jmeter side or on my server side).</p>
  
  <p>Now I suspect it to be the problem with connection acceptance from my server when it is given heavy load.</p>
  
  <p>Here is the image of error stack on jmeter : </p>
