Can i use unity ansible module without ca_certificate?

Hello,

Is there a way to use unity ansible modules without ca certificate either by using http or ssh for the connection?

Regards,

Madhu.

Hi Mudhu,

I wanted to point out this info from the "Ansible Modules for Dell EMC Unity Product Guide" (page 8 )that says:

****

Install the SSL Certificate


Learn how to install the SSL certificate through a certified Certificate Authority.


Prerequisites
These modules are supported through Certificate Authority (CA)-certified certificates only. Self-signed certificates are not supported.


Steps
1. Copy the CA certificate to the /usr/local/share/ca-certificates path of the host.
2. Import the SSL certificate to host using the command sudo update-ca-certificates.
3. Set the REQUESTS_CA_BUNDLE environment variable to the path of the SSL certificate using the command export
REQUESTS_CA_BUNDLE=/usr/local/share/ca-certificates/< >.

****

Which seems to indicate that it is required.

If someone else knows differently, please share the info here.

HI Madhu,

Would setting the certification verification to false work for you?  Each of the modules have this parameter as part of the connection.

verifycert: false

Thanks
Bryan
