        Two authentication methods are supported
        
       
        1. basic authentication, using username and password,
        
       
        2. SSL certificate authentication, using a ssl client cert file, and optionally a private key file.
        
       
        To use a certificate, the certificate must have been installed in the ONTAP cluster, and cert authentication must have been enabled.

        If set to  
       no, the SSL certificates will not be validated.
       
        This should only set to  False used on personally controlled sites using self-signed certificates.
