Do not include HTTPS cert in EOS HTTP Client

Omit HTTPS cert in EOS HTTP Client, as this causes authentication issues on EOS < 5.2.28. When EOS receives a certificate, it will look for this cert in the gridmap file. If it is not found there, the whole authn flow is aborted and the user is mapped to nobody.
