Accepting expired certificate

bubak · 03-28-2022, 09:48 AM

Hi all,

is there a way to tell a recipe that it should not make an error when do_handshake() returns

ssl.SSLCertVerificationError: [SSL: CERTIFICATE_VERIFY_FAILED] certificate verify failed: certificate has expired (_ssl.c:1123)

? I've looked in the forum but could not find a solution (on Linux, no certmgr there). I'd expect some API parameter where I would be able to say that ssl certifcate errors are to be ignored.

Implement the get_browser() function in yoru recipe and customize the browser however you like, including telling it not to verify ssl certificates.

I see. Do you mean to change the set_client_cert_manager() call?

Code:

def get_browser(self, *a, **kw):
   kw['verify_ssl_certificate'] = False
   return super().get_browser(*a, **kw)

Oh, thanks a lot, that's much simpler :-)

Just a typo: it should be

kw['verify_ssl_certificates'] = False
