LGTM, but please verify that this is not a breaking change for customers who use self-signed certificates. |

Looking at the code, this may result in a degradation of error logging |

There was a problem hiding this comment.
I suspect this is equivalent to not handling the event at all. I agree with the concerns about the impact on self-signed certificates with this change.

Context
The agent SDK logs the SSL diagnostic data into the trace, if there is Support of Custom Server Certificate Validation.
To check whether the current platform and configuration supports custom server certificate validation, the
CheckSupportOfCustomServerCertificateValidationmethod is used in theVssUtil.csfile, which implements a certificate validation callback function which performs a SSL handshake with a test uri namely microsoft.com and is set to always returnstrue.Change Description
The custom server certificate validator function now checks for any SSL errors.
