Description of problem:

ApplicationSet controller receives x509: certificate signed by unknown authority when using scmProvider with GitLab

error when creating new applicationSet: error listing repos: error listing projects for 126: Get "https://<url>/api/v4/groups/": x509: certificate signed by unknown authority yaml info: generators: - scmProvider: gitlab: group: "126"

We have done the following:

1. add a self-sign certificate in argocd
2. add insecure in yaml & secrets

Prerequisites (if any, like setup, operators/versions):

Steps to Reproduce

 # Create an ApplicationSet Controller for scm to provide a generator, for example yaml attached

For ref: Similar issue raised https://github.com/argoproj/argo-cd/issues/9607

Actual results:

Throws above mentioned error

Expected results:

Expected the application set controller to be able to communicate with GitLab server API's to list repositories and automate ArgoCD application generation.

Reproducibility (Always/Intermittent/Only Once): Always

Acceptance criteria: 

• Fix the upstream issue https://github.com/argoproj/argo-cd/issues/9607
• Get the fix into an Argo CD release
• Consume the version of Argo CD that has the fix
• In case of fix taking more time, support the workaround in the gitops-operator that currently works for the upstream project.
