Re: [ovirt-users] Upgrading oVirt 3.6 with existing HTTPS certificate signed by custom CA to oVirt 4

I did install a server certificate from a private CA on the engine server for the oVirt 4 Manager GUI, but haven't figured out how to configure engine to trust the same CA which also issued the server certificate presented by vdsm. This is important for us because this is the same server certificate presented by the host when using the console (e.g. websocket console falls silently if the user agent doesn't trust the console server's certificate).
