Issue

While using the rhevm-shell command, the following error is reported;

error: [ERROR]::Connection failure, [Errno 185090050] _ssl.c:328: error:0B084002:x509 certificate routines:X509_load_cert_crl_file:system lib

This can occur when trying to connect from command line, e.g.

rhevm-shell -c -l "https://rhevm-fqdn-ip/api" -u "admin@internal" -A ca-cert-file

where rhevm-fqdn-ip is the fully qualified hostname or ip address of the RHEV Manager being connected to and ca-cert-file is the pathname of the CA certficate file.

This can also occur when trying to connect from within rhevm-shell itself, e.g.

[RHEVM shell (disconnected)]# connect --url rhevm-fqdn-ip:8443 --username admin@internal --password xxxxxx --ca-file ca-cert-file
