SSL ceritifcate supress verification

[raviapatel]

I get this error when trying to connect arango database instance.

Retrying (Retry(total=2, connect=None, read=None, redirect=None, status=None)) after connection broken by 'SSLError(SSLCertVerificationError(1, '[SSL: CERTIFICATE_VERIFY_FAILED] certificate verify failed: self signed certificate (_ssl.c:1131)'))'

From what i can understand this is because arango client is trying to verify SSL certificate. I can avoid this issue with PyArango by supressing verification of the certificate. I am trying to achieve same behaviour with python-arango. I see there is a "verify_certificate" option in client.db. Neverthless this doesn't work and when I look deeper into the code of python-arango I think it is not implemented is that the case?

Hi @raviapatel,

Are you using your own custom HTTP client (doc)? Also in the later version of python-arango the option should be called verify_override.

It works with this setting. But i must say that it is very counter intutive to set it to false to make it work

ArangoClient(hosts="https://myhost/", verify_override =False)
thanks for pointing to right option
