Our persistence mechanism is based on information that Cloudify gave us for the 4.x series of Cloudify Manager images.  Clearly things have changed with the latest versions of Cloudify Manager (5.x).  The error above suggested that something related to the TLS configuration needs to be handled differently.  Possibly there are other changes required as well.  Requesting information from Cloudify.
