Cause:
======
This exception is due to a certificate encoding issue, i.e., the trusted certificate has not been correctly encoded in .pem format.

Resolution:
=========
In most situations the certificate has to be re-created if the certificate has not been created in .pem format. However, if the certificate format is correct and the same exception is seen, open the .pem file with an advanced Text processor like Notepad++, TextPlus or EditPlus, convert it in UTF8 format and save it.
