Some host servers have been configured "not" to use SSL v1, v2 and v3 protocols for security reasons. Instead, they have been configured to use TLS protocol to ensure more secure HTTPS traffic.
Recently, I faced an issue with using SSL. My WebLogic application server had to connect to WSO2 Identity Server (http://wso2.com/products/identity-server/) for getting access token (https://docs.wso2.com/display/IS500/OpenID+Connect+with+the+WSO2+Identity+Server+and+WSO2+OAuth2+Playground) using an HTTPS URL. However, I was initially getting error "Read channel closed" on the WebLogic side. There was no other useful information. My other colleague, who takes care of WSO2 IS, troubleshooted and found that SSL has been disabled on the WSO2 IS server. This gave me a clue and then finally found the following option to make WebLogic to use TLS rather than SSL for initiating HTTPS traffic.
Pass this JVM argument -Dweblogic.security.SSL.protocolVersion=TLS1 into your WebLogic application server start up script. Restart the server and it is DONE.
With the above, my WebLogic server is now able to connect to WSO2 IS using HTTPS protocol.
Hope this helps.
