Cause
The cipher is not supported on the Key Manager Server.
To check the list of ciphers check the SSLCipherSuite directive in /etc/httpd/conf.d/ssl.conf on the Key.
Resolution
Validate that the cipher being used is supported. If supported check enableFIPS(by default FIPS is set to true) in the client configuration file. The RC4-MD5 cipher is not FIPS.
