Problem:
Hi, I’m new to Foreman and trying to install Foreman 3.11 on Ubuntu 20.04 using foreman-installer. However, I keep encountering an SSL certificate verification error (self-signed certificate) that is preventing the installation from proceeding correctly.
Here are the relevant error logs:
2024-09-11 16:22:41 [ERROR ] [configure] /Stage[main]/Foreman::Register/Foreman_host[foreman-foreman.example.com]: Could not evaluate: Exception SSL_connect returned=1 errno=0 state=error: certificate verify failed (self signed certificate) in get request to: https://foreman.example.com/api/v2/hosts?search=name%3D%22foreman.example.com%22

I’m unsure how to resolve this SSL issue and would appreciate any guidance. Apologies if this is a basic question, but I’m new to working with Foreman and certificates.
Expected outcome:
The Foreman installation should complete without SSL verification errors, allowing hosts and smart proxies to register properly.
Foreman and Proxy versions:
Foreman 3.11
Distribution and version:
Ubuntu 20.04
