Trying to configure SOAPUS 5.3 to run https/SSL

I am trying to configure my SoapUI 5.3 to run SSL to test an app in the Microsoft Azure environment.  

In the SOAPUI, I installed my certificate in the keystore location with the keystore password. When I I tried to execute my endpoint I get the following response:

Error getting response; javax.net.ssl.SSLHandshakeException: Remote host closed connection during handshake

When I monitor my ISP for this traffic, I see a successful TCP handshake but the azure loadbalancer does not forward the traffic to the web application firewall behind the load balancer. 

If I take the URL for the endpoint and place it in a browser with the cert installed the traffic is passed to the web application firewall with out any issues. 

So I am not sure what else I need to configure in the SOAPUI for SSL communications. 

Any help would be appreciated

Thanks
