Steps to Reproduce
1) Create a Connect-REST.
2) Try to hit any https URL, an error occurs.
3) Create .jks file with .pfx file provided by the end client and use the .jks file as truststore at the REST connect rule.
4) Try to hit the service with SSL settings as suggested by product, observe the error.
Root Cause
A defect or configuration issue in the operating environment.
As per the error there is a connection reset during read socket operation and is not related to SSL/TLS handshake.
Pega 7.2.1 does support REST connect rule level truststore and keystore.
Also the user is having the REST service hosted on a different domain which has some configuration issue preventing the REST service call.
Resolution
User moved hosted the REST service in the same domain as the PEGA server is hosted and the connection was successful.
