  • received a fatal TLS certificate unknown alert message from the peer

  • ssslerr_no_context_yet

  • SSL handshake failures during RFC, HTTP, HTTPS, or ICM communication

  • Connection termination without a clear application-level error

  • SSL-related short dumps or trace entries in dev_icm, dev_w*, SM21, or network traces
