SSL certs generated without a config file do not set the Subject Alternative Name field and instead use the Common Name field. Urllib3 has deprecated support for this, thus, connection yields an InsecurePlatformWarning (https://github.com/shazow/urllib3/issues/497. It looks like the required config file is going to require some input from the user. After setting the install script to get the input, build the config file, and use the config file to build the certificate, Server <-> PCE comm should be secure, and all that will be left is handling of user credentials.
