[BUG]: after gateway installation the REST API test fails due to non-validated certificate

[coulof]

Describe the bug
After the gateway installation of the PowerFlex Gateway the REST API test fails due to non-validated certificate.

From the Catalina logs we have the error:

2024-03-25 11:09:39,361 [https-jsse-nio-443-exec-7] ERROR c.e.s.s.w.s.ScaleIOSecurityUtils - Password can't be empty
org.springframework.security.authentication.BadCredentialsException: Not Authenticated

To Reproduce
Install the PowerFlex Gateway and try the REST API

Below are the steps and fix

pflex.gateway.failure.and.fix.mp4

Expected behavior
MDM certificate must be auto-validated by the playbook instead of requesting a manual validation

System Information (please complete the following information):

• OS/Version: SLES 15.4
• Ansible Version: 4.x
• Python Version: 3.6
