Hi Martin,

Thanks for the details.
Later this post, i  realized that the server certificate  is  expired and 
need renewal.  
When I open this post I was in an assumption that the certificate on the 
client is a problem . 
Planning to upgrade and renew the  certificate in the server and 
re-register the client s.
