Could not establish trust relationship for the SSL/TLS secure channel

I'm trying to create a "HTTP Form Login Monitor" for Ciscoworks but it uses SSL/HTTPS, so when I setup the monitor and click the "test" button I get the following error.

Testing on node <HOSTNAME>: failed with 'Undefined' status

The underlying connection was closed: Could not establish trust relationship for the SSL/TLS secure channel.

Can the "HTTP Form Login Monitor" be used with HTTPS/SSL sites?

Is the URL using the ${IP} variable? This translates to the server's IP address. Some HTTPS connections have issues because they are not using the hostname. Change your URL to use the actual hostname and see if that works better.

i.e instead of http://${IP}/index.html use http://myservername/index.html

Josh, do you ever get tired of being right all the time? Sure enough when I changed the URL to the FQDN it worked as it should. Thanks (once again) for your help.
