Environment

Watch4Net/M&R - 7.X

Cause

This error occur because the server registration is skipped in Centralized-Management. Once registered, servers will automatically exchange certificates, and then, cert based authentication will be available.

Resolution

Go to the Frontend, Centralized Management > Configuration, and then click
Register a Server. Register all of the APG servers that are up and running and use the following settings:
 
Server HostName = the DNS name of the server
Gateway URL =<https://server DNS name>:48443/
User Name = <uname>
Password = <password>
