Add CT-SCv3020 to SCVMM Fabric - SSL Error

Question

I am having a really hard time getting our new Compellent Device added to the SCVMM Fabric.  I have SCVMM 2012R2 and 2016 on separate management servers.  Storage Manager is installed on a separate server (Unisphere Central version 18.1.10.171).  Windows Firewalls are all off. I have finally managed to get the Self-Signed certificate off the website (which runs on port 3033) - and installed in on my SCVMM 2016 Server.  The website now opens properly, without a Certificate Error. However when I try to add it to the Fabric (both with ssl on/off) it fails:   Could not retrieve a certificate from the (FQDN of Storage Management server) because of the error: The request was aborted: Could not create SSL/TLS secure channel. Specify a valid server name and port. ID: 20909Details: Unknown error (0x194) What am I missing?  We have an internal CA, so I tried to create a certificate for it - but that is not working either.

I now have a new message: Registration of storage provider https://(My DSM Server):5989 for user (AD Account) failed from (SCVMM Server) with error code WsManMIInvokeFailed. Specify valid provider, port and user credentials for storage discovery. ID: 26263 The Runas Account I am using is an AD Account. It is mapped to the Storage Center in question.

Finally got it to work after doing the TLS 1.2 updates.  But it only seemed to work if I used a Local Runas Account, rather than an AD account.
