Issue
Cause
incorrect certificate format.
Resolution
Verify the SMS server certificate includes a full path to a trusted root certificate, if it does not, the customer needs to contact the SMS vendor to get all of the certificates in the certification path, as separate files. Install and trust the root into the Windows Trusted root Authority, and also install and trust any intermediate certificates.
Verify the server certificate now shows a full certification path in Windows.
Verify the root certificate can be imported into the Security Console; this is not the actual certificate that is needed, but being able to import it successfully is necessary.
Open the SMS Vendor's Server certificate, under the Details tab select "Copy to File..." .
Choose the format:
Base-64 encoded x.509
and save the modified certificate. Import the modified certificate through the Security Console.
