    Recently, updating from or committing to the community SVN has been failing with the error listed as the topic description:
    Code (Text):
    1. svn: OPTIONS of 'https://sonicretro.org/asm_svn': SSL handshake failed: Secure connection truncated
    WebSVN is working correctly, but using any utility for actual SVN access has been failing.

    This is usually related to a server misconfiguration. 3 known causes for the issue (in Apache servers) are:
    1. custom VirtualHost entries in /etc/apache2/sites-available/default must be changed from <VirtualHost *> to <VirtualHost *:80>
    2. overly restrictive mod_ssl SSLCipherSuite parameter;
    3. system OpenSSL package does not match the one Apache was compiled with (this is usually due to an update in OpenSSL while Apache is running without a corresponding Apache update, and causes a time bomb problem when Apache is next restarted).


    A good value for SSLCipherSuite is:
    Code (Text):
    1. ALL:!ADH:!EXPORT56:-AES256-SHA:-DHE-RSA-AES256-SHA:-DHE-DSS-AES256-SHA:RC4+RSA:+HIGH:+MEDIUM:+LOW:!SSLv2:+EXP:+eNULL
    Anyway, I hope this helps...
