Hi All

I'm setting up the SSL certificate authentication for Ansible and getting the below error for SSL certificate authentication from Linux VM to ONTAP cluster. Followed the procedure given below but no luck. Please suggest. Thanks.

Authenticating Ansible ONTAP Modules with Certificates Instead of Username/Password - thePub (netapp.io)

[ansibledev@xxxxxxxxx~]$ curl -ik --cert ./ansibledev.pem --key ./ansibledev.key https://xxxxxxxx/api/cluster?fields=version
curl: (56) OpenSSL SSL_read: error:14094418:SSL routines:ssl3_read_bytes:tlsv1 alert unknown ca, errno 0

Hi @SudheerKandala

Apologies that no one from the community has been able to help you out on this post.

As an alternative suggestion, consider jumping on our NetApp Community Discord. There is an #ansible channel which is fairly active, so someone might be able to help you out over there with your Ansible certificate issue.

To access discord head over to - https://netappdiscord.com to get started.

Hope this helps.
