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

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

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

To resolve this issue, configure Ansible 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 Ansible automation portal to trust your custom CA certificate.
