    I'd suspect an SSL problem with the certificate, possibly having to do with
    a naming or trust issue. You might check the event log for Schannel errors
    that can provide more details.

    People usually get around this problem by either fixing the cert problem or
    configuring a custom ICertificatePolicy class that overrides the response to
    the error you are getting and allows the operation to proceed. There is a
    nice sample in the Framework SDK reference for ICertificatePolicy.
