Intellij plugin 3.4.2... fails connecting to server with self signed cert when adding new token . 3.4.0 worked fine - Continuation from previous forum

I was asked to provide the Stacktrace from the error, so here it is. It’s definitely related to the self signed cert. In Chrome I have to add an exception for that cert in order to go to the page. Chrome initially blocks it. But again, SonarLint plugin 3.4.0 works perfectly with this self signed cert.

Connection test failed

I was using version 3.4.0 of the SonarLint plugin for Intellij. A coworker just installed the plugin so he got version 3.4.2… and was getting a failure “Failed to connect to the server. Please check the configuration. Error: Fail to request http://host/api/system/status

But me on 3.4.0 the flow of adding the token from the server worked perfectly. Same server (that has a self signed cert). I updated my plugin and now I am getting the same error against the same Sonar server (with the self signed cert). Why did this functionality break in the new 'patch" version 3.4.2?? How do I get around it or downgrade to 3.4.0? Please help!!
