AppDaemon Self signed certificate problem

Hello,

I am working with Hassio and AppDaemon.
Everything was running fine until I activated SSL with a self signed certificate.
Now AppDaemon is unable to connect to Home assistant.
I am getting SSL errors ssl.SSLError: [SSL: WRONG_VERSION_NUMBER] wrong version number (_ssl.c:777)
See the log extract at the end of this post.
Home assistant and AppDaemon run on the same Raspberry host.

As Openssl seems to be unavailable on Hassio, I built the security certificate with Openssl on my Linux Mint laptop.
In the browser, I can access my home assistant instance on https://XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX:8123.
I can use the RESTful API with Python and the Requests module and also with Curl.
So, the certificate looks to be good.

Can anyone help me solve the problem?

Hereby my configuration and an extract of the log

configuration.yaml

http:
  ssl_certificate: /config/certificate.pem
  ssl_key: /config/privkey.pem

appdaemon.yaml

AppDaemon:
  threads: 10
  app_dir: /config/AppDaemon/apps
  errorfile: /config/AppDaemon/log_stderr.txt
  logfile: /config/AppDaemon/log_stdout.txt
  cert_verify: False
  cert_path: /config/certificate.pem

HASS:
  ha_url: https://XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX:8123

#HADashboard:
#  dash_url: http://127.0.0.1:5050
#  dash_dir: /config/AppDaemon/dashboards

When debug is activated in AppDaemon, the stdout log contains the following errors:
