Kodi: Suspected SSL/TLS Issue - "Failed to connect"

[jhspyhard]

The problem

I am trying to add a Kodi instance to my HomeAssistant (HA) setup, but keep getting a "Failed to Connect" error message.

My instance of Kodi is set up for SSL/TLS connections - confirmed working from both the Yatse remote control app, via a browser, and by connecting from the HA machine via openssl s_client -connect media.l33ch.xh:443.

I am able to turn off the Uses an SSL certificate option in the Kodi Integration and successfully connect, once I have disabled SSL in the Kodi.

Kodi's certificate is signed by a private / local-only network Certificate Authority. I had previously added my root certificate to my HA box's Debian ca-certificate store. I am about 95% sure that what is happening is that the Kodi integration connection flow is examining my Kodi certificate using some ca-certificate store other than the root OS's, and is failing the connection when it can't find it.

I turned the logging for homeassistant.components.kodi.config_flow (and globally) up to DEBUG, and managed to get the following line out of HA, but nothing else that was relevant:

2024-02-19 21:23:45.660 DEBUG (MainThread) [homeassistant.components.kodi.config_flow] Connecting to media.l33ch.xh:443 over HTTP

Instructions for adding a custom root certificate to the list that the HA Kodi Integration uses to verify the certificates it encounters would be helpful, to try and rule out this being my issue.

Thanks in advance!
