Certificate verify failed while installing NIM models

Hi

I am trying to install NIM models with enterprise API KEY. Once the LLM pod is running i see errors with certification and “hostname mismatch”.

Have not seen this error before. Not sure if any firewall/Proxy blocking the model to download necessary files or not.

Below is the error and this i have seen for other LLM NIM model as well.

Starting with this

And then last error message:

Exception: ConnectionError: Check your ability to access the remote source and any network/dns/firewall/proxy settings.

Any idea?
