As an addition to what richie said you can also try to look up in the logs from the bottom left of your ReadyAPI screen.
Something must pop-up. A status code, an error, a timeout or something...
Hello,
this is the only message/error i am seeing
That error indicates you might not have the keystore set up for that endpoint.
You will need the private key and certificate of the endpoint and create a keystore - there are a lot of references and I forgot the one I used but I found one site
Once you make a keystore file you have to make ReadyAPI know about it. Here is a link for that

Hi Bill,
okay, i was not aware of that. The client was sent our certificate, port info, etc, (everything needed to get through their firewall) but you are saying i still need to do that on my end??
When you say "client" it's sort of confusing because I'm used to client/server in the sense the client sends a REST request or SOAP request to a server. So I hope I am understanding you write.
I don't work with WSDL, so my advice might be totally off. But your own title of the problem is the person who sent you the endpoint does not want you to use the endpoint. The SSL-related error message you got indicated you attempted to use that endpoint. And that got my attention.
Back to your original question, I would not know how to validate their endpoint except with a ping command, since you are not supposed to use their endpoint!
