GitHub Enterprise authentication with self signed certificate

I was trying to setup authentication on JupyterHub using GitHub Enterprise. I have provided my configuration file.

I run jupyterhub by: sudo jupyterhub. After I log in with GitHub Enterprise credentials, I see 500 Server Error on the client. And on the server, I see the following error:

tornado.curl_httpclient.CurlError: HTTP 599: server certificate verification failed. CAfile: /etc/ssl/certs/ca-certificates.crt CRLfile: none

I suspect, it is because my GitHub Enterprise is hosted with a self signed certificate. Is there a way to get past this? (I know I get get the certificates if I have a domain, but currently I don’t).

I saw somthing like validate_server_cert in GitLab code. Should we have something similar in GitHub for GitHub Enterprise deployments with self signed certificates?

My conf:

import os
os.environ['GITHUB_HOST'] = "<GITHUB-HOST IP>"
# os.environ['GITHUB_HTTP'] = "1" # Tried with and without this

from oauthenticator.github import GitHubOAuthenticator

c.JupyterHub.ip = '<jupyterhub-host>'
c.JupyterHub.port = <jupyterhub-port>

c.JupyterHub.authenticator_class = GitHubOAuthenticator
c.GitHubOAuthenticator.oauth_callback_url = 'https://<jupyterhub-ip>:<jupyterhub-port>/hub/oauth_callback'
c.GitHubOAuthenticator.client_id = '<client_id>'
c.GitHubOAuthenticator.client_secret = '<client_secret>'

c.LocalAuthenticator.create_system_users = True
c.Authenticator.whitelist = {'myuser'}
c.Authenticator.admin_users = {'myuser'}
c.JupyterHub.ssl_cert = 'certs/mycert.pem'
c.JupyterHub.ssl_key = 'certs/mykey.key'

I think it was meant to be closed by #354

Fixed in #354 (edit, pr number changed from unrelated pr)
