caldav-sync owncloud on Digital Ocean servers and self signed certificates.

I am trying to get org-caldav to work with my Owncloud which is running on
a Digital Ocean server.

I am getting the message

org-caldav-check-connection:[server address/path_to_calendar]does not
seem to accept DAV requests

I suspect the issue is related to the self signed certificates on the
Digital Ocean server.

Which my Android devices or with Firefox I can install the self signed
certificates and the Owncloud Calender syncs fine. I am not seeing a
way to do that with Emacs Org-Mode.

Is there a way to deal with self-signed certificates in Emacs Org with
org-caldav and Owncloud?

In case it's useful, here's the variables I use in my init.el.

(setq org-caldav-url "https://server.net/owncloud/remote.php/caldav/calendars/rasmus"
      org-caldav-calendar-id "defaultcalendar")

I use a proper certificate though.  You could use letsencrypt if you think
that’s the issue...
