Hi,

I am using the latest commit from the devel branch, and I am having difficulty adding an Apt repository. The system I am running Ansible on is Ubuntu 12.04, the provisioned host is running 14.04. I am using this task:

- apt_repository: repo='ppa:webupd8team/java'

The error is:
msg: Failed to validate the SSL certificate for launchpad.net:443. Use validate_certs=no or make sure your managed systems have a valid CA certificate installed. Paths checked for this platform: /etc/ssl/certs, /etc/pki/ca-trust/extracted/pem, /etc/pki/tls/certs, /usr/share/ca-certificates/cacert.org, /etc/ansible

I tried extracting the CA certificate file that urls.py builds and pass it to gnutls-cli to check whether the CA certificate is indeed missing:

$ gnutls-cli --x509cafile certstmp.pem launchpad.net
Processed 332 CA certificate(s).

What else can I do to debug this problem?

What version of Ansible are you running? There were some changes in 1.5.3+ to address certificate validation issues on Ubuntu systems. Also please make sure that you have the correct CA package installed (ca-certificates) and that the /etc/ssl/certs/ directory is present and contains certificates.

Hi James,

Thanks for the ideas. As I mentioned, I am using the latest commit from devel, and have all the certificates. In fact, I showed that if I take the temporary file with CA certificates that Ansible creates and use it with gnutls-cli then the launchpad.net certificate validates.

Regards,
Joost
