Solution

1. Login to CloudCenter Manager (CCM) machine via Firefox.
2. View the CloudCenter certificate with the use of the padlock icon on browser and save it.
3. Copy the save the certificate to the Jenkins machine.
4. Login to Jenkins machine via Secure Shell (SSH).
5. Run this command on Jenkins machine:

   keytool -import -trustcacerts -alias example -keystore <Replace the path to the java path>/jre/lib/security/cacerts -file <location of saved certificate file>.

6. The authentication of the CloudCenter will validate properly.
