SSL Certificate Verify Failed

I just set up the Splunk for Solarwinds App and I am not getting any data. Digging into the internal logs I am seeing errors around SSL certificates.

I edited http.py within /etc/apps/Splunk_TA_SolarWinds/bin/splunk_ta_solarwinds/cloudconnectlib/core to try and disable SSL verification but it does not seem to be working.

This is what is in one of the internal logs for the app:

You may need to check the certificate and refer to the documentation and add it to the trust list. Traceback (most recent call last):
