  The SAP error message STC_SC_TASKS024 indicates that there is an issue with the SSL client configuration in your SAP system. Specifically, the error message "SSL client (anonymous) must not be empty" suggests that the system is expecting an SSL client certificate for secure communication, but it is not configured properly.
  Cause:
  
  Missing SSL Client Certificate: The SSL client certificate required for secure communication is not configured or is missing.
  Incorrect SSL Configuration: The SSL settings in the SAP system may not be set up correctly, leading to the system not recognizing the SSL client.
  Anonymous Authentication: The system is trying to use anonymous authentication, which is not allowed in this context.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve this issue, you can follow these steps:
  
  
  Check SSL Configuration:
  
  Go to transaction STRUST in your SAP system.
  Check the SSL client settings and ensure that the SSL client certificate is properly configured.

  Check the parameters related to SSL in the instance profile (e.g., ssl/client_cer, ssl/server_cer, etc.).
  
  
  
  Check for Anonymous Authentication:
  
  If anonymous authentication is being used, consider switching to a more secure authentication method that requires a valid client certificate.
  
  
  
  Restart the SAP System:
  
  After making changes to the SSL configuration, restart the SAP system or the relevant services to apply the changes.
  
  
  
  Test the Connection:
