When I use the exact same configuration as my other red hat systems (same access rights for the certificates as well), this new debian system is not capable to connect to the collector. Instead it logs the error message:

Just a super quick thought:

Given all the certs are the same, in the same locations (CA signing certs etc), and the HTCondor config is the same, and 
it all works on your Red Hat Machines....  I am wondering: What is the HTCondor version running on your Red Hat execute 
nodes?  My guess is version 8.8.x, not 8.6.x.... You could try running the same HTCondor version on your Debian system 
as you run on your Red Hat systems.  You can find HTCondor v8.8.x buster binaries via htcondor.org....  see:

Hope the above helps
