Issue/Introduction
The .Net client application is not able to connect to the HTTPS VSM deployed to VSE.
Different client applications are working fine.
The exception displayed is:
Different client applications are working fine.
The exception displayed is:
Could not establish trust relationship for the SSL/TLS secure channel with authority 'VSE Server:port'
Environment
All supported DevTest releases.
Resolution
By adding the SSL debug property, -Djavax.net.debug=ssl, in the VSE vmoptions file, we could verify the VSE was receiving the request and the SSL handshake looked fine.
For more information regarding the SSL handshake, please take a look at the links below:

After the handshake is completed, it seemed that the client application closed the connection.
We can see the following in the VSE log file:
It implies that the signing authorities may not be trusted by the client end.
The root and intermediate certification authorities need to the imported in the client application.
