Additional info:

• Customer has shared the downloads.zip file on the case downloaded from vsphere. We tried appending the certs into a CA-bundle and uploading the CA-bundle under the secrets, but the issue still persists.

• We have also tried the workaround in https://access.redhat.com/solutions/7008082, but that did not help.
