Remote host closed connection during handshake

Hello,

we are trying to integrate our existing RFT installation (Version 8.1.0) with our RQM (Version 4.0).

When starting or configuring the RFT Adapter the following messages appear on the adapter console:

03:49:38:406 PM Starting Adapter
03:49:40:609 PM Remote host closed connection during handshake
03:49:41:343 PM Reconnecting to the server
    The adapter failed to connect to the server

I can access the server URL via a browser but not with the RFT adapter.

After enabling debug logging for the RFT adapter an exception appears in the log. This is the log:
