Hi,  
I’m using a self signed (local server) https server for testing the standalone mode of mender client.  
Currently, the URI path will accept only when the HTTPs server is signed from a known CA.  
I found that, using “_-skipverify_” option, we can skip this certificate verification from mender client.

I would like to know how to add the self signed HTTPs server certificate in the client so that, I do not want to use “_-skipverify_” option for passing the URI?

Any help/link/documentation would be appreciated 🙂
