Hi. Have you installed the certificate in your [execution environment](https://ansible.readthedocs.io/projects/awx/en/latest/userguide/execution_environments.html) in AWX? Looks like it’s missing from the error message. ---

do we need to build Execution environment if we build AWX using docker compose ? ---

Yes. The execution environment is a container that serves as the [Controller Node](https://docs.ansible.com/ansible/latest/network/getting_started/basic_concepts.html#control-node) in AWX. ---
