Importing CA certificate into a Databricks cluster

[Direo]

Hi!

I was following guide outlined here:

https://kb.databricks.com/en_US/python/import-custom-ca-cert

(also tried this: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/73043589/configuring-tls-ca-on-databricks)

to add ca root certificate into Databricks cluster, but without any luck.

Maybe someone has managed to do it and could share specifics of how it is achieved?

I would really appreciate your help.

Hi!

Getting "SSLError: HTTPSConnectionPool(host='host', port=443): Max retries exceeded with url: url (Caused by SSLError(SSLCertVerificationError(1, '[SSL: CERTIFICATE_VERIFY_FAILED] certificate verify failed: unable to get local issuer certificate (_ssl.c:1131)')))

request:

response = requests.post(url, headers=headers, data=json_data, verify="/dbfs/path.pem")

btw, with verify=False, I am able to get response.

Hi Direo, Thanks for the confirmation, SSL verify=false can be a good option to try with in this case as a workaround.

(Spark config:

spark.databricks.pip.ignoreSSL true)

In the end it turned out that I tried to add wrong certificate. To check certificate's Distinguished Name (DN) which help identify the organization that the certificate was issued to, run

%sh openssl s_client -connect <hostname>:<port>-showcerts -CAfile <path to the .pem file>. Guide outlined here: https://kb.databricks.com/en_US/python/import-custom-ca-cert did work once I got the right certificate.
