The server needs to know which clients are authorised, and the client 
needs to know which servers are authorised.

Check that the clocks are synced on all the machines involved, 
including the signing machine.

7/30 is Connection TLSHandshakeFailed (see ExceptionCodes.txt) and is 
most likely because the certificate isn't valid yet. There is a warning 
in the docs about this.
