If you don't like the warning, then a command such as upsc ups at cyva
2>/dev/null
will hide it.

Otherwise the simplest, and possibly the safest, solution is to create local 
self-signed certificates.  For instructions see chapter 10 of 
https://rogerprice.org/NUT/ConfigExamples.A5.pdf . The required mkNUTcert.py 
utility program is available at https://rogerprice.org/NUT/mkNUTcert.py

Hello,

  Also note that NUT project does not currently issue packages, and I have
a hard time guessing what distro might ship a "driver.version:
DSM7-1-1-42930-workplus-version2-repack-42930-220712". Ask them what NUT
version (release or snapshot) they use, and if they would consider shipping
a newer one?

  Sometime recently (after 2.8.0 release) an option was added to quiesce
this particular message by setting an envvar, NUT_QUIET_INIT_SSL=true (e.g.
in scripts or shell profile) where you intend to not secure the
communications: https://github.com/networkupstools/nut/pull/1667
