SSL Certificate Issue on linux.dell.com Repository
Hello,
I have encountered an SSL-related issue when accessing the Dell System Update repository at:
https://linux.dell.com/repo/hardware/dsu/os_independent/
When running dnf makecache on AlmaLinux 9, the following error occurs:
[root@xxx ~]# dnf makecacheAlmaLinux 9 - AppStream 12 MB/s | 9.8 MB 00:00AlmaLinux 9 - BaseOS 7.9 MB/s | 3.8 MB 00:00AlmaLinux 9 - CRB 5.8 MB/s | 2.7 MB 00:00AlmaLinux 9 - Extras 54 kB/s | 20 kB 00:00dell-system-update_independent 0.0 B/s | 0 B 00:01Errors during downloading metadata for repository 'dell-system-update_independent':- Curl error (60): SSL peer certificate or SSH remote key was not OK for https://linux.dell.com/repo/hardware/dsu/os_independent/repodata/repomd.xml [SSL certificate problem: unable to get local issuer certificate]Error: Failed to download metadata for repo 'dell-system-update_independent': Cannot download repomd.xml: Cannot download repodata/repomd.xml: All mirrors were tried
As a temporary workaround, I added the following line to /etc/yum.repos.d/dell-system-update.repo:
sslverify=0
After this change, dnf works correctly, but this is not a secure or recommended solution.
I also tested the URL using SSLShopper, and the report clearly indicates that the server is missing required root/intermediate certificates in the SSL chain.

Could you please fix this issue on your side by updating the certificate chain for linux.dell.com?
Thank you!
Best regards,
Yovcho Yovchev
