nodejs - error self signed certificate in certificate chain

Question

I am facing a problem with client side https requests.

A snippet can look like this:

var fs = require('fs');
var https = require('https');

var options = {
    hostname: 'someHostName.com',
    port: 443,
    path: '/path',
    method: 'GET',
    key: fs.readFileSync('key.key'),
    cert: fs.readFileSync('certificate.crt')
}

var requestGet = https.request(options, function(res){
    console.log('resObj', res);
}

What I get is Error: self signed certificate in certificate chain.

When I use Postman I can import the client certificate and key and use it without any problem. Is there any solution available?? I would also like to be given some lights on how postman handles the certificates and works.
