To be clear, the WMS service that I’m trying to connect to does not require a username/password but is only available via https. The server (<a href="https://maps.ngdc.noaa.gov" class="">https://maps.ngdc.noaa.gov</a>) has a valid CA certificate. I tried adding a SSL Server Configuration (preferences -> authentication -> Manage Certificates -> Server) and while the entry appears to be valid, I still get the SSL Handshake error when trying add a WMS layer.<div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">Any further ideas?
