Server: CFNetwork SSLHandshake failed (-9806)

I've just updated my Mini server to Yosemite and update Server to version 4, however I now don't seem to be able to connect to it remotely via the Server app. Initially the websites service wouldn't start, because Apache was complaining that my private key could not be decrypted without a passphrase (although there isn't one!), but I managed to solve that by reimporting the RapidSSL SHA-2 CA certs (including the intermediate cert with SHA-1 root).


Unfortunately reimporting the CA certs does not seem to have affected my ability to connect to the server remotely. The server doesn't seem to be complaining in its logs any more, but client side I am seeing this:

17/10/2014 16:11:18.930 Server[53395]: CFNetwork SSLHandshake failed (-9806)

It appears every few seconds in my log while I am trying to connect.


Any ideas? Many thanks in advance!

Mac mini, OS X Yosemite (10.10)

Hi, you can delete the identity cert & cert preference:


sudo security set-identity-preference -n -s com.apple.servermgrd /Library/Keychains/System.keychain

sudo security delete-certificate -c com.apple.servermgrd /Library/Keychains/System.keychain


After a Macos restart servermgrd should created a new (ssl signed) certificate.


I have to do this since server version 4 after every upgrade :-(
