  I was able to get round the certificate error by downloading the [skip-certificate-check](https://plugins.jenkins.io/skip-certificate-check/releases/) plugin to my laptop and manually installing it in the `Deploy Plugin` section in the Jenkins UI (at `/manage/pluginManager/advanced`). This is just for a development instance though, for a production instance you're probably better following some of the [other suggestions](https://stackoverflow.com/questions/24563694/jenkins-unable-to-find-valid-certification-path-to-requested-target-error-whil) for fixing certificate issues properly.
