Hi @arun.mani,

What product or service are you using? Can you please provide a link to this OpenPermID library that you are using.

In general, when Python requests module has SSL error, it is either because:

1. The Python instance and requests module is old and does not have latest certificate store.

2. You app is behind a firewall which is re-signing the SSL requests.

Hello Gurpreet!

Thanks for the response, I am currently using OpenPermID python library:Introduction to the Open PermID Python library | Devportal (lseg.com)

I am running this from my company's network. Just wanted to know what the certificate's are required to run this in my employer's environment. It gives accurate results when I run the command on my personal system.

The error indicates the connection was blocked by your company's network policies.

You need to contact your company's network team to unblock the connection.
