An error occurred in BizTalk Server.

An error occurred during transmission:
A secure connection with the remote server could not be negotiated. The server's certificate may not be valid.

CAUSE

This issue is a problem with Microsoft Windows 2000 secure channel functionality. When this error occurs, Windows 2000 is experiencing trouble verifying Server Gated Cryptography (SGC) certificates. VeriSign Global Server ID certificates are SGC-style certificates.
