Resolution

The certificate subject name does not match. The name slave expects ( you configured on the slave iManager screen) is not the same one as the master is sending ( configured on the s2s iManager setup).
The new created Master vpn certificate name is different than the old one. You'll have to go to iManager on the slave vpn, vpn server configuration, Trusted master server certificate subject name and replace it with the new name.
Stopvpn and Startvpn and tunnel will be reestablish.
