When I use the following cipher suite,

    env.put("jmx.remote.tls.enabled.cipher.suites", "SSL_RSA_WITH_NULL_MD5");

I've got the following exception on the client side:

java.net.SocketException: Socket closed

On the server side, I've got the following message:
Jul 31, 2003 11:59:44 AM GenericConnectorServer ClientCreation.run
SEVERE: Failed to open connection: java.net.SocketException: Socket closed

According to dev eng investigation, this happens when the cipher suite is not supported or
is has not been specified in both the client and server side environment maps.

The exception should be more explicit and say that the error was due to a handshake problem
and that no cipher suites were in common.
