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

[Kenneth Bingham]

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).
