Databricks-connect OpenSSL Handshake failed on WSL2

[vpacik]

When trying to setup databricks-connect on WSL2 using 13.3 cluster, I receive the following error regarding OpenSSL CERTIFICATE_ERIFY_FAILED.

The authentication is done via SPARK_REMOTE env. variable.

The script used:

from databricks.connect import DatabricksSession

spark = DatabricksSession.builder.getOrCreate()
spark.range(10).show()

Hi @jp_allard, 

• One approach to resolve this is to disable SSL certificate verification. However, keep in mind that this approach may compromise security.
• In your Databricks configuration file (usually located at ~/.databrickscfg), add the following line to the relevant profile:

  insecure = True
  

• Save the changes and try running your Databricks Connect setup again.
• To use TLS 1.3 on your clusters, you can enable OpenJSSE in the cluster’s Apache Spark configuration.
• Add the following line to your Spark Config (e.g., in spark-defaults.conf):

  spark.driver.extraJavaOptions -XX:+UseOpenJSSE
  

• Restart your cluster to apply the changes. TLS 1.3 should now be enabled and usable in your notebooks.
