Description

When running the photon installer in kickstart mode, the RPMs cannot be served from an SSL site with an untrusted SSL certificate (e.g. a self-signed certificate).

This is probably a good thing for most users, but it would be a good thing to have kernel /proc/cmdline option to disable SSL certificate checking for those of us who are operating in internal environments with untrusted certificates.

As far as I can tell from the docs, you can disable SSL certificate checking by not passing the cafile parameter to urlopen() here.
