Hi Srosenbloom,
Thanks for hopping in the forum. This error could be related to ssl being activated in the wordpress admin area. Do you mind temporarily disabling ssl in the admin area? This can be done by adding define(‘FORCE_SSL_ADMIN’, false); to your config.php file. After disabling it, try connecting again. http://codex.wordpress.org/Administration_Over_SSL
Let us know if that works and we can look further into the issue.

Hi,
Did you manage to resolve this somehow?
I have the exact same issue when trying to connect MailChimp to my account, error:
POST to https://xxxxxx.com/index.php?mcsf_action=authorized&salt=f7754ce7595815e5567269d5d0c6001e&user_id=103 failed: error:14077458:SSL routines:SSL23_GET_SERVER_HELLO:reason(1112)
I have tried define(‘FORCE_SSL_ADMIN’, false); , but the only result was that wordPress got into an infinite loop of redirections when trying to open anything under /wp-admin
I have openssl 1.0.1e on my servers.
It seems that sopresto.socialize-this.com (where MailChimp add-in makes the connection from) must be using openssl 0.9.8 as there is a compatibility bug between openssl 0.9.8 and openssl > 1.0

Basically sopresto.socialize-this.com’s OpenSSL client is buggy. I don’t see what could be done from my side at all.
I managed to resolve it.
Temporarily changed the ServerName in the apache’s SSL config to match exactly (with www.) what is in the SSL certificate, made the MailChimp connection and then changed it back to how it was.
Hi there ev02,
Thanks for your posts – I’ll be happy to pass along the info you provided to our developers who are working on the plugin at the moment. I’m glad to hear you were able to make some temporary adjustments to get connected!
