Hi,

I guess it's not a certificate problem in the first place. The protocol (https) and/or ssl configuration in server.xml seems to be wrong.

Getting SSL right within Confluence (to be precise: The Apache Tomcat application server) can be tricky, as you have to configure the Java certificate store. The first line of the error says it all:

javax.net.ssl.SSLHandshakeException: No appropriate protocol (protocol is disabled or cipher suites are inappropriate)

Consider using an Apache HTTPD server working as a reverse proxy in front of the Confluence server. We use this configuration to have single HTTPD server acting as a proxy to all Atlassian servers in our company: Confluence, Jira, Bitbucket,...

Easy to configure, only one place for SSL termination, secure setup.

Best
