Port 443 being blocked is also a common problem, worth checking.

Wait, are you sure the certificate is unnecessary? That seems risky!

Nah, it could just be a firewall blocking the port.

Sounds like a SAN issue, definitely check that.

I recall that SSL certificates are important for secure connections, but I wonder if there are cases where you can bypass them. Is that what option D is suggesting?

I'm not entirely sure, but I feel like port 443 being blocked could be a possibility too. We did cover different ports in class.

I think there was a practice question about firewall issues. If the PostgreSQL ports are blocked, that might also lead to connection problems, right?

I remember something about the Subject Alternative Name in certificates. If the Follower's hostname isn't listed, that could definitely cause an SSL error.

Hmm, I'm not sure about that. The question also mentions the PostgreSQL ports, so it could be a firewall issue. I might try option B and check if those ports are blocked.

Okay, let's see here. The question mentions an SSL connection refused error, so it seems like there's a problem with the certificate. I'll need to check the certificate details and make sure the hostname is correct.

Ah, I think I know what the issue is. The certificate probably doesn't have the Follower hostname listed as a Subject Alternative Name (SAN). I'll go with option A and generate a new certificate for the Follower.

The Clipboard tool? That doesn't sound right. I'm guessing it's one of the other options, but I'm a bit confused on the exact tool for this task. Gotta review my accessibility knowledge.

I think the answer might be A, the Work center file, since it usually contains details about capacities and times.

Ugh, stakeholder analysis questions are the worst. There are so many different types of stakeholders to keep track of. I'll just have to read through the options and go with my best guess.

Wait, there's a PostgreSQL port involved? I thought this was a Follower issue. Now I'm even more confused.

I bet the person who came up with option D is the same one who thought putting a 'Please Hack Me' sign on their server was a good idea.

D? Really? Using the command option to suppress SSL certificate checking seems like a bad idea. That's just asking for security issues.
