Problem with authentication to jira server

[Przemyslaw Bak]

Hi all,

I am trying to write my first jira-python application and stuck at the very begin. Basically I am using the following code (taken from examples and modified a bit):

from jira import JIRA
from getpass import getpass

def main():
    options = {
        'server': 'https://jira.internal.server/'
    }
    password = getpass()
    jira = JIRA(options, basic_auth=('user1', password))

    # Get the mutable application properties for this server (requires
    # jira-system-administrators permission)
    # props = jira.application_properties()

    # Find all issues reported by the admin
    issues = jira.search_issues('assignee=user1')

    # Find the top three projects containing issues reported by admin
    from collections import Counter
    top_three = Counter(
        [issue.fields.project.key for issue in issues]).most_common(3)

if __name__ == "__main__":
    main()

But all I get is the following error:

WARNING:root:[SSL: CERTIFICATE_VERIFY_FAILED] certificate verify failed (_ssl.c:646) while doing GET https://jira.internal.server/rest/api/2/serverInfo
 [{'headers': {'Connection': 'keep-alive', 'Accept': '*/*', 
'X-Atlassian-Token': 'no-check', 'Cache-Control': 'no-cache', 
'Content-Type': 'application/json', 'User-Agent': 'python-requests/2.7.0

'params': None}]

WARNING:root:Got recoverable error from GET https://jira.internal.server/rest/api/2/serverInfo, will retry [1/3] in 10s. Err: [SSL: CERTIFICATE_VERIFY_FAILED] certificate verify failed (_ssl.c:646)

Can anybody tell me how to solve this problem ?

I have found a way to workaround:

jira_options = {
    'server': "https://jira.cmc.local/",
    'verify': "False"
}

jira_options = {
    'server': "https://jira.cmc.local/",
    'verify': False
}
remove the "" works for me.
