I'm trying to use requests to connect my python client to HP ALM so I can export Defects and Requirements. My problem is that when I try to connect to ALM I get this error.
requests.exceptions.SSLError: HTTPSConnectionPool(host='hpalm.xxx.com', port=443): Max retries exceeded with url: /qcbin/authentication-point/authenticate (Caused by SSLError(SSLError("bad handshake: Error([('SSL routines', 'tls_process_server_certificate', 'certificate verify failed')])")))
my function is the following
def connection():
#HardCoded login to be deleted when tested and able to run with login verification
user = userPass.user()
pwd = userPass.passwd()
#Not sure if needed, need to test
encPwd = base64.standard_b64encode(pwd.encode('utf-8'))
print(encPwd)
userToEncode=user+':'+pwd
print("user2Encode : {0}", userToEncode)
#requests lib to ALM connection
headers = {
'cache-control': "no-cache",
'Accept': "application/json",
'Content-Type': "application/json"
}
authurl = almURL + "/authentication-point/authenticate"
res = requests.post(authurl, auth=HTTPBasicAuth(user,encPwd),headers = headers)
so far I've tried to follow this example:https://github.com/vkosuri/py-hpalm/blob/master/hpalm/hpalm.py but when I do the verify=False I get :
InsecureRequestWarning: Unverified HTTPS request is being made. Adding certificate verification is strongly advised. See: https://urllib3.readthedocs.io/en/latest/advanced-usage.html#ssl-warnings InsecureRequestWarning)
and the following print of the log:
{'Date': 'Fri, 05 Mar 2021 17:36:51 GMT', 'X-Frame-Options': 'SAMEORIGIN', 'Content-Type': 'text/html; charset=ISO-8859-1', 'Cache-Control': 'must-revalidate,no-cache,no-store', 'Content-Length': '5937', 'Connection': 'close'}
any ideas what I'm doing wrong? Thank you
