What i could observe that this behavior is associated with prolonged login time and failing eventually caused due to certificates are untrusted although these certs are self-signed.
For me i do not have Certificate authority to request for cert so i stick back with Appliance generated cert which getting untrusted among each other.
looking at cafe appliance Catalina.out logs, found that Identity appliance is not trusting cert generated by cafe appliance and giving error
