Python - How to disable SSL certificate verification

pierrecarette — Mon, 14 Dec 2015 21:09:28 GMT

To keep things simple I'd like to disable the certificate verification when connectiing via HTTPs:

s = NaServer("##.##.##.##", 1 , 31)
s.set_server_type("FILER")
s.set_transport_type("HTTPS")
s.set_port(443)
s.set_style("LOGIN")
print(s.is_server_cert_verification_enabled())
s.set_admin_user("admin", "####")

s.is_server_cert_verification_enabled() is False by default

but I still get this error:

I found this solution, insert this code at the beginning of your source file:

import ssl

try:
    _create_unverified_https_context = ssl._create_unverified_context
except AttributeError:
    # Legacy Python that doesn't verify HTTPS certificates by default
    pass
else:
    # Handle target environment that doesn't support HTTPS verification
    ssl._create_default_https_context = _create_unverified_https_context

I am encountering the same error message with netapp-ontap 9.8 python client library. I tried to apply the specified fix for ssl verification error but no luck. Can someone please suggest a fix for this?

For the newer python client library add verify=False to your HostConnection string:

config.CONNECTION = HostConnection('hostname or IP', 'user', 'password', verify=False)
