Fedora - use system certificates

Bug summary

I am trying to connect to a Jira instance hosted here in the company.

        jira_instance_location = 'https://jira.xxx.de'
        headers = JIRA.DEFAULT_OPTIONS["headers"].copy()
        options = {"headers": headers, "server": jira_instance_location, 'verify': './certnew.pem'}

        instance = JIRA(
            options=options,
            token_auth='my token',
            get_server_info=True)`

This works - but I have to provide my own pem file. As soon as I do not pass the verify option, I do get this error:

Max retries exceeded with url: /rest/api/2/serverInfo (Caused by SSLError(SSLCertVerificationError(1, '[SSL: CERTIFICATE_VERIFY_FAILED] certificate verify failed: unable to get local issuer certificate (_ssl.c:1002)

How can I configure the Jira module to use the system wide installed certificates?

Is there an existing issue for this?

# this works
        headers = JIRA.DEFAULT_OPTIONS["headers"].copy()
        options = {"headers": headers, "server": jira_instance_location, 'verify': './certnew.pem'}

        instance = JIRA(
            options=options,
            token_auth='your token',
            get_server_info=True)
# this does not

        headers = JIRA.DEFAULT_OPTIONS["headers"].copy()
        options = {"headers": headers, "server": jira_instance_location}

        instance = JIRA(
            options=options,
            token_auth='your token',
            get_server_info=True)

Expected behaviour

The module shall use the Fedora certificates as installed on the machine.
