Can anybody help me with connecting to a TCP/IP secure socket connection… server socket is secured ssl and it is required for the client to accept the servers security certificate the first time around. I am done with connecting part… all I wanted to know is how can we get to accept the certificate for the first time around… any inputs…??

The following error occured on server end…
The following error occurred –

Message ID . . . . . . . . . : CPDBC8B
Message file . . . . . . . . : QCPFMSG
Library . . . . . . . . . : QSYS

Message . . . . : Peer not recognized or badly formatted message received.
Cause . . . . . : A Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) record was received from a
peer which was not recognized, not valid, not expected, or has a format
which is not supported. Also, the peer system might not have recognized the
certificate authority which signed the local peer system certificate.
Recovery . . . : Ensure the client and server are using compatible protocol
versions of SSL. If the protocol versions are compatible, this may be a
problem with the remote end points SSL implementation. Also, check to ensure
that the peer system recognizes the certificate authority which signed the
local peer system certificate.
