Hi Ansible team,

We are facing the certificate verification issue while executing ansible-playbook.  
Could you please suggest how to resolve this issue?

Your error is clearly about HTTPS certificate verification. If that  
fails, disable it.  
You haven't shared any playbook code, so we don't know what task  
generated this error, so we can't tell more.

Hi,

Thanks for the reply. This error occurs even for gather\_facts command.

ansible all -m gather\_facts --tree /tmp/facts  
[WARNING]: \* Failed to parse /home/ejagpat/mps/SOURCE\_TTCN/mec\_admin/script/ansibleSource/k8s.yml with k8s plugin:

u’[SSL: CERTIFICATE\_VERIFY\_FAILED] certificate verify failed (\_ssl.c:661)'),))

[WARNING]: No inventory was parsed, only implicit localhost is available

Disabling certificate check also didnot work.  
Please suggest other methods, i give a try.

Thanks,  
Jagannath

Hi,

are you sure you disabled HTTPS certificate checks for the k8s  
inventory plugin? In your original posting, you disabled SSH host key  
checking.

Please check out  
[https://docs.ansible.com/ansible/latest/collections/kubernetes/core/k8s\_inventory.html#parameter-connections/validate\_certs](https://docs.ansible.com/ansible/latest/collections/kubernetes/core/k8s_inventory.html#parameter-connections/validate_certs)

Cheers,  
Felix

Hi Felix,

Thanks for this info. I did not aware of this K8S inventory plugin option.  
Now the ansible is working for us.

Thank again, very much appreciated your help.

Cheers,  
Jagannath
