I actually just had a similar issue, basically if I tried to make a http 
connection and clicked the test button. The foreman side would show me it is 
doing a redirect (presumably to https), which the ovirt side doesn't handle 
very well.

And if I tried to make a https request I would get the IOException Keystore 
has been tampered with, or password was incorrect. For me it turned out the 
/var/lib/ovirt-engine/external_truststore was corrupted. What normally will 
happen when trying to make an https connection to foreman is it will receive 
certificate from foreman, notice it is not trusted and ask the user to trust it 
(and it will put it in the external_truststore, if the user trusts it). Since 
it was corrupted it was unable to properly open the trust store and the 
mentioned IOException would get logged.

Assuming your trust store is corrupted (Mine was only 32 bytes, it should be 
much bigger), you can just rename it or delete it. And a new one will be 
created when you try to make an HTTPS connection to foreman. Once I did both 
(remove the corrupted trust store, and make an HTTPS connection). Everything 
started working correctly for me.
