    Hello,
    Actually, I found the solution myself and wanted to share it with the community because the problem was quite a hassle to diagnose. If the error message had at least indicated that the issue was due to an incorrect certificate, finding the solution would have been a much faster and simpler process; however, the error was very generic, making it confusing to know where to start looking for a fix. I admit that without the help of AI, I wouldn't have been able to solve it on my own.

    ibarrau's help did try to point me in the right direction, but the information was nearly 10 years old and outdated; it didn't address the certificate issue, which was the root cause of the problem.

    Anyway, as I mentioned, I’ve resolved the issue myself, but I wanted to share this so that anyone else facing the same problem can save themselves hours of research and troubleshooting.
