Hi Ajay,

Normally you get an error like this when your test environment is setup with a self signed certificate or when there is some other issue causing the certificate not to be recognised as a valid cert. (It happened a lot a few years back when one of the top level cert signing authorities had to quickly change a root cert)

The easiest solution is to get your IT people to ensure the certs are setup and signed correctly, but if that’s not an easy option, there are a couple of setting for Create Session that you should look into, namely verify and disable_warnings, don’t just blindly go changing them, take time to understand the consequences and risks first.

Dave.
