Environment

Release : Any UIM 

Component : UIM - ADMIN_CONSOLE

Cause

This issue is sometimes caused by specific network environments; proxy configurations

Resolution

The connection to the archive.nimfsoft.com site defaults to secure connection that is managed by the wasp probe on the Admin Console robot

Confirmed that secure connection to the Archive.nimsoft.com site did work in this scenario and changed the Archive connection to non-secure, HTTP,  by changing the adminconsoleapp webarchive_access_secure value from true to false

webapps -> adminconsoleapp -> custom -> uncrypted ->  webarchive_access_secure = false
