Why am I getting this Splunk cloud HTTP Event collector self signed certificate error postman?

Hi,

I am trying to send data to HTTP Event Collector(HEC) free trial via postman but I am getting

SSL Error: Self signed certificate in certificate chain error.

After searching online, I got that some self signed certs are required. So I added the certs in the postman, But I am getting another error:

SSL Error: Hostname/IP does not match certificate's altnames

Could anyone help in this issue for HEC free trial account. I have a hunch that it could be possible that free trial only support HTTP and for HTTPS paid cloud account is required. Kindly correct me if I am going in wrong direction.

Also can anyone share certs if free trial support HTTPS
