I had the same intermittent problem and I've seen it from others over the 
years. The only resolution is to turn off verification checking. As I 
understand it, the failure happens because the user's SSL certificate can't be 
validated against the server's, so failures will occur with some users and not 
others. 

The failure can happen at any point in the chain. Level 1 is the certificate on 
the user's machine. We sometimes saw failures at levels 2 or 3, which would be 
the certs on servers somewhere in the intermediate hops. That meant the failure 
was sometimes intermittent for the same user depending on the path the request 
took to the server. 

My knowledge of this stuff is rudimentary so someone else may be better 
qualified to answer, but I believe that's the layman's explanation.
