Hello Mark,

please take the following with a grain of salt, it's 4am here, so I
might be seriously wrong:

ADH-AES256-SHA is a certificate less cipher. Without a certificate,
teher is nothing to verify.

I don't know what exactly AES256-SHA is, but obviously, it is not a
null cipher, so there is a certificate to verify, and verification
fails.
