The secure sockets layer (SSL) certificate sent by the server was invalid and this item will not be crawled – Sharepoint

On starting the full crawl of the default content source i recieved the  error.

The secure sockets layer (SSL) certificate sent by the server was invalid and this item will not be crawled.

It was because one of the site was ssl enabled.

Solved it in the following manner

Go to

Central Administration > Application Management > Search Service > Farm-Level Search Settings

On the Manage Farm-Level Search Settings page, in the SSL Certificate Warning Configuration section, select the Ignore SSL certificate name warnings check box if you want to trust that sites are legitimate even if their certificate names are not exact matches.
