[openssl-users] Help with "tlsv1 alert insufficient security"

[Joseph Southwell]

We upgraded from 0.9.8 to 1.0.2 and now we are seeing that message when we try connecting to a server that previously worked. What does it mean and how can I figure out how to work around it? I can’t get the server to change anything and I need to be able to continue connecting to it. 

openssl s_client -connect xxxxxxx.com <http://xxxxxxx.com/>:#### -starttls ftp
