The error means exactly what it says. The web server got a certificate from
a peer that is signed by an issuer the web server is not configured to trust
to issue peer certificates. Possible fixes include:

1) Turn off peer authentication in the web server.

2) Configure the web server to trust whoever issued the peer certificate to
issue peer certificates.

3) Configure the client to present a certificate to the web server that the
web server is configured to trust.

The correct fix depends upon why you are authenticating the client. If you
don't know why you are doing it, the fix is probably '1', stop doing it.
