Hi Max,
I just ran into this same SSL error today when trying to resolve artifacts from repository.jboss.org via my own artifact manager. Is there someone you can contact to look into the certificate situation?
At a glance, the cert does look okay, but yet the problem persists. Thanks for whatever you can do!
