Getting SSL certificate issue on my mac.

TASK [kubectl : download kubectl from cumulus repo] \*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*  
task path: /Users/sprabhu/github/deployment-armada-develop/roles/kubectl/tasks/main.yml:34  
fatal: [controller]: FAILED! =\> {“changed”: false, “failed”: true, “msg”: “Failed to validate the SSL certificate for [na.cumulusrepo.com:443](http://na.cumulusrepo.com:443). Make sure your managed systems have a valid CA certificate installed. You can use validate\_certs=False if you do not need to confirm the servers identity but this is unsafe and not recommended. Paths checked for this platform: /etc/ssl/certs, /etc/ansible, /usr/local/etc/openssl”}

I am using Python 2.7.10 and ansible 2.1.2.0

I have already looked at [https://github.com/ansible/ansible/issues/12161](https://github.com/ansible/ansible/issues/12161), doesn’t have any answer. Any help is appreciated. Thanks.
