If you are using custom or self-signed SSL certificates and when attempting to log in to self-service automation portal, it displays the error:

Login failed; caused by Error: Failed to send POST request: fetch failed

This error indicates that self-service automation portal cannot verify the SSL certificate from your Ansible Automation Platform instance.

To resolve this issue, configure self-service automation portal to trust your custom CA certificate.

Note

While you can disable SSL validation by setting checkSSL: false in the Helm chart configuration, this approach is not recommended for production environments as it reduces security. Instead, configure self-service automation portal to trust your custom CA certificate.
