[Python-modules-team] Bug#780264: Bug #780264 - Workouround for self-certificate

[Jérémie LEGRAND]

Dear Maintainer,

I had the same problem, but applying the patch only partially resolved it: indeed, the exception is gone, but I obtain no result from the check_esxi_hardware.py. (I got: "UNKNOWN: ")

On my case, it was that checked ESXi server had an auto-generated certificate (thus, invalid for Python).
I modified the check_esxi_hardware.py script to open pywbem connection without checking SSL certificate, like this:
    wbemclient = pywbem.WBEMConnection(hosturl, (user,password), NS)
        replaced by
    wbemclient = pywbem.WBEMConnection(hosturl, (user,password), NS, no_verification=True)

It is now ok.
(I am aware that disable certificate check is bad, but I'm on a dedicated internal network, and the risk of attack is very slow on my case)


Best regards,

Jeremie LEGRAND
