Pull REST api data from VMWare vCenter

I have a Power BI desktop version 2.56 installed. I would like to retrive data from VMWare vCenter server (Version: 6.5) to get the list of Virtual machines. Every time I get this error:

 

"Details: "The underlying connection was closed: Could not establish trust relationship for the SSL/TLS secure channel."

 

From postman, If I disable "SSL/TLS Certificate verfication" it worked without an issue.

 

Is there any way to disable certicate verfication or any other way to call VMWare REST api from Power BI desktop?
