To solve this issue:

    1. Please check the Jenkins file to see the Java being used by the Jenkins hosted on your server and import the certificate to that Java Keystore using below steps:
    2. Check if you are using a self-signed certificate or a CA-signed certificate?
    3. if it is a self signed certificate, then you need to import the certificate to the trusted Keystore of the JVM used by Jenkins, and then you will have to restart the Jenkins.

To import the certificate, please follow the steps from page: SSL Errors - PXIX path building failed - How to import certificate into JRE/JDK
