na_elementsw_check_connections module can't connect to solidfire cluster

Hello!

I am trying to automate the creation of volumes and other things on a solidfire cluster by using ansible 2.8.1. I have been unable to get the na_elementsw_check_connections module to succesfully connect to the cluster. The solidfire cluster gui is available and I am able to login to it. I am using the same user to login through the GUI and in the ansible playbook.

Here is the full error I get:

fatal: [localhost]: FAILED! => {

}

There looks to be a proxy / ssl issue which I am not sure is related to the above error as I do not see mention of either in the above module's error:

$ wget --no-check-certificate XXXX

I appreciate the help.
