The error is telling you that the self-signed certificate cannot be verified. You either need to use a publicly signed and verifiable certificate (e.g. from Let's Encrypt) or you need to turn off certificate chain verification (sorry not got round to trying KeyCloak so I don't know how to/if you can do that. Or you need to provide a verifiable certificate chain to KeyCloak.

Thank you for your reply. I disabled certificate validation at node-red side using below line . It worked.  
In settings.js above mode.exports line.  
process.env.NODE\_TLS\_REJECT\_UNAUTHORIZED = "0";

I understand that this is not a correct way to do it. But for test environment we can use this. For production i need to add valid certificate in node-red. I am still figuring that out.
