SharePoint 2013 SSL policy errors have been encountered. Error code ‘0x2’

INTRODUCTION

I created a self-signed certificate for my SharePoint 2013 sites. When I accessed the site it returned blank! Nothing!

Then I checked Event Viewer and I get the following error:

SSL policy errors have been encountered. Error code ‘0x2’..

RESOLUTION

Go to your SharePoint site web.config and add the following line within <system.net> tag:

<servicePointManager

checkCertificateName=”false”

checkCertificateRevocationList=”false”

</settings>

That fixed it for me! Yippee!
