Importing a certificate error: Remote host terminated the handshake

Hi all,

When I try to install/connect to a REST-HOST in vRA8.3.  I get the following error: 

2021-05-11 05:33:14.073 -04:00ERRORWorkflow execution stack: *** item: 'Import a certificate from URL with certificate alias/item3', state: 'failed', business state: 'Error', exception: 'InternalError: java.lang.IllegalStateException: javax.net.ssl.SSLHandshakeException: Remote host terminated the handshake (Workflow:Import a certificate from URL with certificate alias / Validate (item1)#5)' workflow: 'Import a certificate from URL' (c5a874a2-e8e7-480d-bdde-d1a80b8a3011) | 'input': name=url type=string value=https://<removed>> | 'input': name=ignoreWarnings type=boolean value=true | 'no outputs' | 'no attributes'
 
From the appliance, I get
 
root@pap104 [ ~ ]# curl -v -H -GET https://<<removed>>
* Trying bah.bah.bah.bah...
* TCP_NODELAY set
* Connected to <<removed>> (bah.bah.bah.bah) port 443 (#0)

* OpenSSL SSL_connect: SSL_ERROR_SYSCALL in connection to <<removed>>:443
* Closing connection 0
curl: (35) OpenSSL SSL_connect: SSL_ERROR_SYSCALL in connection to <<removed>>:443
 
So I know I can connect??  Any ideas what the problem can be?
 
Many thanks,
Carl
