Morning everyone,

Came in to work today and seeing this error. Anyone familiar with it? What's the impact and fix? Stock install of Splunk with no custom certs.

I am having the same issue. To add some more info, if I log onto the system and run python 3 (system version not splunk) the script works fine. When I try with using Splunk I get ssl errors. Here is a cut from the error output:

Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/opt/splunk/lib/python3.7/site-packages/urllib3/util/ssl_.py", line 322, in ssl_wrap_socket
context.load_verify_locations(ca_certs, ca_cert_dir)
FileNotFoundError: [Errno 2] No such file or directory

Hello @joele23

this is actually other issue, so it's better to create a new question

Hi @daniel333,

is this still open? According to SSLlabs the cert is OK
