Description Petr Matousek 2012-02-15 10:44:14 UTC 
When installing new host, RHEV-M connects to the host via ssh as root and copies vds_installer.py script into /tmp. vds_installer downloads deployUtil.py and vds_bootstrap.py via curl.

curl is invoked with "-k" parameter:

-k/--insecure
  (SSL)  This  option  explicitly  allows  curl  to  perform "insecure" SSL   connections and transfers. All SSL connections are attempted to be made secure by using the CA certificate bundle installed by default. This makes all connections considered "insecure" fail unless -k/--insecure is used.
