   ### The required feature described as a wish
   
   For internal traffic, it is common practice that HTTPS/TLS is used, but:
   - the TLS certificates are often self-signed, or issued by an internal CA 
(not a public one like Let’s Encrypt).
   - Sometimes services just use the server’s IP address instead of a DNS name.
   
   Disabling SSL certificate and hostname verification increases compatibility, 
allowing CloudStack to interoperate with a wide range of hypervisors, 
networking equipment, and storage devices. This behavior is intentional by 
design, to ensure broader support across diverse environments. For example,
   - Connect to Vmware vCenter
   - Connect to Xenserver
   - Connect to some external storage or network devices
   
   We could provide more flexibility and also stronger security, including but 
not limited to
   
   - Allow users to bring their own SSL certificates
   - Support host name (DNS) instead of host ip in SSL communication
   - Add an option for enforce SSL certificate verification
   - Add an option for enforce hostname verification
