BlueCat Logout errors on multiple VM deployment

Problem 

When you deploy multiple VMs using Bluecat for your IPAM/DNS you may have a failure. The logs will display an error similar to:

[2020-10-12 10:57:46.741] [I] addDnsForBluecat : BlueCat thread unlocked in error handler : BluecatRuntimeException: An error has occurred while attempting to call the 'logout' method via REST:
javax.net.ssl.SSLHandshakeException: sun.security.validator.ValidatorException: No trusted certificate found


Cause

This could be caused by the account logging out of a previous workflow that has completed causing subsequent workflows to fail that may have already been in progress.
