Splunk Certificate Verify Failed Issue

I have an issue after upgrading the Splunk Enterprise version to the latest version (9.0.4.1), once we upgraded the Splunk we got a warning alert below:

WARNING: Server Certificate Hostname Validation is disabled. Please see server.conf/[sslConfig]/cliVerifyServerName for details

Then we configured the cliVerifyServerName as suggested.

[sslConfig]
cliVerifyServerName=true
sslRootCAPath=/opt/splunk/etc/auth/splunkweb/ourcertificate.crt

But after that, we got an error below.

ERROR: certificate validation: self signed certificate in certificate chain

Encountered some errors while trying to obtain shcluster status.
Couldn't complete HTTP request: error:14090086:SSL routines:ssl3_get_server_certificate:certificate verify failed

What do I need to solve the issue?

Thanks.
