According to this post I should def verify the cert.
however, when I do generate the cert with
openssl s_client -connect server:17778
and put the content: to a file to server.pem.
-----BEGIN CERTIFICATE-----
conentsff.....
-----END CERTIFICATE-----
and run the test script that looks something like this:
swis = orionsdk.SwisClient("servername", username.strip(), password, verify="server.pem")
swis.query("SELECT uri From Orion.Nodes WHERE NodeID=2054")
TTPSConnectionPool(host='servername', port=17778): Max retries exceeded with url: /SolarWinds/InformationService/v3/Json/Query (Caused by SSLError(SSLError(1, '[SSL: CERTIFICATE_VERIFY_FAILED] certificate verify failed (_ssl.c:897)'),))
my guess is that I do not have the right port!! but not 100% sure, please help!
note: I know that I can bypass the warning but I want to get the cert to work!
