All,
We deployed the self service portal some time ago, and it has run well up until recently. When attempting to run the Populate Configuration Element workflow, it fails and we see the following in the server.log.

I changed the names to protect the innocent 
Port 443 is open between the vCenter running 4.1 build 491557 and we are using VCO build 4.1 733. We do have any upgrade in the works to vCenter/VCO 5.5 but it's about a month out. Any ideas appreciated.
