Summary: Setting libcloud.security.VERIFY_SSL_CERT = False still results in CERTIFICATE_VERIFY_FAILED errors on python 2.7.11 Key: LIBCLOUD-812 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LIBCLOUD-812 Project: Libcloud Issue Type: Bug Components: Compute Environment: python 2.7.11 (likely since 2.7.9 as well when ssl behaviour was updated) Reporter: Michael Bennett When trying to use the Docker Container API with a docker host running on a local docker-machine managed VM, setting libcloud.security.VERIFY_SSL_CERT = False to allow the use of the self-signed certs generated by docker itself still results in CERTIFICATE_VERIFY_FAILED. This is because when verify is turned off, the base httplib.HTTPSConnection connect() method is used and the behaviour of the default SSL context was changed in python 2.7.9 to use verification by default (which is detailed here https://docs.python.org/2/library/ssl.html#ssl._https_verify_certificates) Example: # Stack traces removed for brevity. Note get_connection() is my own method which creates a properly instantiated DockerContainerDriver In [1]: from cloud.connection import get_connection In [2]: import libcloud In [3]: conn = get_connection('docker') In [4]: conn.list_images() --------------------------------------------------------------------------- SSLError Traceback (most recent call last) <ipython-input-4-47e7225ad5b0> in <module>() ----> 1 conn.list_images() ...
