Hello, i'm trying to connect 2 gateway in 2 different VM. When i connect the gateway network i have this error: -\> outgoing local='ignition-xxxxx400' remote='[https://xx.xxx.xxx.167:8060/system](https://xx.xxx.xxx.167:8060/system)' method=handleConnectException: Connection attempt to wss://xx.xxx.xxx.124:8060/system/ws-control-servlet?name=ignition-xxxxx400&uuid=a244a523-23b2-4532-4534-d74abc62e3a0&url=[https://xx.x.xx.45:8060/system](https://xx.x.xx.45:8060/system) failed! Error message=Abruptly closed by peer I opened the port correctly If i use the connection without SSL with port 8088 the connection work correctly. Maybe is an error of certificates? What i must check? Thank you so much for the help ---
