System.CalloutException: Received fatal alert: handshake_failure when authenticating with external webservice
I'm trying to authenticate with an external webservice in an apex class using a callout, and I'm getting this callout exception: "System.CalloutException: Received fatal alert: handshake_failure". I can make the call using REST Console on my chrome browser. Sending a POST HttpRequest to the following path:
https://{server}/auth?username={username}&password={password}
This should return json containing a sessionId, but when I execute this request i get the CalloutException. I've registered the server in the remote sites in my SFDC instance. I'm not sure why i'm getting this handshake failure.
Help!!!!!!

I've commented on this in a few different places but yes, Salesforce is having an issue where if the outbound call uses SSLv3 (some do, some don't currently), then you'll receive a handshake_failure if the service has disabled SSL. I and others have opened a ticket against Salesforce around this, and there is currently no ETA as pcon has mentioned. I'd suggest following these threads for updates:
