When I am attempting to enroll a beat to centralized management I'm receiving this error:

I'm trying to just get it connected, I also have a case where a hostname mismatches (I blame nat), How would one go about specifiying a CA, or ssl verification none?

You will have to add your CA certificate to the systems CA list.
