Certificate verify failed

[HeathNaylor]

I have a certificate for a domain but am referencing a local vault server over TLS in my script. I want to ignore the tls verification problem but I get the following error when I do assert client.is_authenticated()

SSL routines:SSL3_GET_SERVER_CERTIFICATE:certificate verify failed

How are you creating the client? Did you try the verify=False flag?

[HeathNaylor]

That is better but throws this:

/usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/requests/packages/urllib3/util/ssl_.py:120: InsecurePlatformWarning: A true SSLContext object is not available. This prevents urllib3 from configuring SSL appropriately and may cause certain SSL connections to fail. For more information, see https://urllib3.readthedocs.org/en/latest/security.html#insecureplatformwarning.
  InsecurePlatformWarning

I can get around this by importing logging and disabling warning capture.

import logging
logging.captureWarnings(True)

I would not consider this a long term solution. To truly fix this would I need to create my own CA and install the root cert on the system with hvac?

You can either install the CA certificate on the system or you can set the verify flag to the path of the CA certificate, depending on your use case.
