splunk kafka connector SSL setting

hi all, I am trying to set up a POC to use the connector. The splunk HEC end point is SSL enabled and the cert does not match the end point and the connector is throwing this error. The HEC end point has a splunk signed cert (CN=SplunkServerDefaultCert) [2019-12-02 10:58:19,689] ERROR encountered io exception (com.splunk.hecclient.Indexer:143) javax.net.ssl.SSLPeerUnverifiedException: Certificate for doesn't match any of the subject alternative names: [] What configuration can I setup so the connector does not perform host name validation? I have no control on the splunk side
