TYPE:

System.ServiceModel.CommunicationException

MESSAGE:

An error occurred while making the HTTP request to https://*server address*/memoqcps/mgt/mgt. This could be due to the fact that the server certificate is not configured properly with HTTP.SYS in the HTTPS case. This could also be caused by a mismatch of the security binding between the client and the server.
