Peer certificate errors with Boinc:World Community Grid

SalishSwede
I'm getting the following errors with WorldCommunity Grid (an IBM public research project employing distributed computing technology via Boinc [see http://boinc.berkeley.edu]).

Msg 1:  Request  new tasks for CPU
Msg 2: Project communication failed: attempting access to reference site.
Msg 3: Scheduler request failed: Peer certificate cannot be authenticated with given CA certificate.

The Web Filter log shows the following errors:


[FONT=monospace]2013:04:15-14:04:12  wahine httpproxy[4741]: id="0003" severity="info" sys="SecureWeb"  sub="http" request="0xaf6e9040" function="ssl_log_errors" file="ssl.c"  line="58" message="C 10.1.0.3: 3933391728:error:14094418:SSL  routines:SSL3_READ_BYTES:tlsv1 alert unknown ca:s3_pkt.c:1197:SSL alert  number 48" [/FONT]
[FONT=monospace]2013:04:15-14:04:12  wahine httpproxy[4741]: id="0003" severity="info" sys="SecureWeb"  sub="http" request="0xaf6e9040" function="ssl_log_errors" file="ssl.c"  line="58" message="C 10.1.0.3: 3933391728:error:140940E5:SSL  routines:SSL3_READ_BYTES:ssl handshake failure:s3_pkt.c:947:" [/FONT]

Is there any way to circumvent this?
I originally thought this was due to the self-signed nature of the Astaro/Sophos certificates.
Given the handshake errors, perhaps not.

Any input appreciated.

    Answered my own question.
    1.  The error does appear to be associated with self-signed CAs.
    2.  Adding an exception under Web Protection \ Web Filtering \ Advanced \ 
    Skip transparent mode destination hosts/nets
     and adding an exception for "www.worldcommunitygrid.com" takes care of the problem.
