Hiawatha and Chrome https incompatible

Hello,
I use Hiawatha 10.4 on an embedded board. When I use Hiawatha to be https webserver, Chrome can't connect to my website. It write an SSL_error. If I use IE or firefox, everythings are OK (I just have an error because the name are not OK but you can force the connection).
In my first step to find the error, I install Hiawatha on windows and Abyss webserver and use the same certificat. Chrome with Hiawatha get an error but Abyss don't have the error...
How to find the problem and sole it for Chrome ?
Best regards

Did you set MinTLSversion to something other than the default value? I don't use Chrome, so I'm not sure, but could it be because the name is not OK? Perhaps Chrome is more strict on that?

Hello, thank you for your help.
No, I don't set MinTLSversion.
My Hiawatha.conf :
# Hiawatha main configuration file
#
set INSTALL_DIR = CONFIG_DIR\..


# GENERAL SETTINGS

# DEFAULT WEBSITE
# It is wise to use your IP address as the hostname of the default website

Do you have an idea how to find a solution ? I saw frames with Wireshark but I don't know what to do with my measurements.
Do you know what's happen exactly when Firefox or Chrome connect in https ?
In an other forum, they say that Chrome is incompatible with mbedTLS. Is it possible to use openSSL like Apache ?

I don't know which version of mbedTLS is used by Hiawatha 10.4, but the one used by Hiawatha 10.7 works fine with Chrome.

Is there a reason to use the 10.4 version and not the 10.7 ?

I use version 10.4 because I compile it with Yocto and the official version is 10.4. I think, I test to compile hiawatha 10.7 in standalone mode.

I tested the version 10.7 and this version works fine with Chrome.
Thank you very much to Nicolas and Hugo Leisink for their helps.
