ERROR: SSL Validation failure connecting to host: 10.0.0.134 – SSL_connect returned=1 errno=0 state=error: certificate verify failed
ERROR: Could not establish a secure connection to the server.
Use `knife ssl check` to troubleshoot your SSL configuration.
If your Chef Server uses a self-signed certificate, you can use
`knife ssl fetch` to make knife trust the server’s certificates.

Original Exception: OpenSSL::SSL::SSLError: SSL Error connecting to https://10.0.0.134/organizations/mysvhcl/nodes – SSL_connect returned=1 errno=0 state=error: certificate verify failed
