  Missing Certificate: The required SSL certificate is not installed or is missing from the system.
  Invalid Certificate: The certificate may be expired, revoked, or not trusted by the system.
  Incorrect Configuration: The SSL configuration in the SAP system may not be set up correctly, leading to issues in certificate recognition.

  Install the Certificate:
  
  Ensure that the required SSL certificate is installed in the SAP system. You can do this through the transaction code STRUST.
