When accessing a NST system using the https protocol, you may run into troubles with some applications if your SSL configuration is not set correctly. Most likely, the configuration issue will be that the ServerName parameter in /etc/httpd/conf.d/ssl.conf is not set to exactly match the host name of the system you are connecting to.

The following shows an example of the output of Subversion when trying to connect to a improperly configured NST system:

 tortilla-e:tmp pkb$ svn ls https://192.101.77.44/svn-trash/trash
 svn: OPTIONS of 'https://192.101.77.44/svn-trash/trash': could not connect to server (https://192.101.77.44)
 tortilla-e:tmp pkb$ 

The above failed because the ServerName parameter was not set to 192.101.77.44.
