Basically I use testlaunch job from [Jenkins v2.46.2] to launch Remote_Job_Name from [Jenkins v2.73.3]

Same operation works OK when destination server is an older version i.e. v1.651.3

The version of Parameterized Remote Trigger Plugin from [Jenkins v2.46.2] is the latest i.e. 2.2.2

Hi

I'm getting the same error (jenkins 2.73.2 and plugin 2.2.2). Have you found any solution? 

Plugin doesn't seem to be maintained anymore. could be related to the upgrade to TLS 1.2...

Regards
