AWS 物联网数据：CERTIFICATE_VERIFY_FAILED

Question

I run test scripts for AWS IOT in a bitbucket pipeline using python + boto3

It worked fine until recently, now i get the following error:

botocore.exceptions.SSLError: SSL validation failed for https://data.iot.eu-central-1.amazonaws.com/things/thing-unittest/shadow [SSL: CERTIFICATE_VERIFY_FAILED] certificate verify failed (_ssl.c:777)

While I cannot reproduce this on my local system, reproducing the error with the default python:3.6.4 docker image is successful indicating that there might be an invalid certificate.

Intrestingly, running the following command in pipeline is succesfull: openssl s_client -connect data.iot.eu-central-1.amazonaws.com:443

any advice on how can i debug this further would be greatly apreciated

Answer 1

It would appear that AWS has bad certs for the last several hours. I do not subscribe to a support tier, so I don't know how to tell them. I am getting the same problem; boto3 reports that bad cert (which you can verify in a browser).

All of my IoT functions are affected, though if I run it locally (not as a lambda), it seems to work.

Perhaps someone has a way to tell Amazon their little problem?

Edit:

See: https://forums.aws.amazon.com/thread.jspa?messageID=967311&#967311 and https://github.com/boto/boto3/issues/2686 for the fix. You shouldn't use the defaults for creating your dataplane client, because certifi (python) has been fixed to ignore the Symantec CA for the URL, and Amazon isn't going to fix it.

Answer 2

The solution pointed out by Eric Lyons did not worked for me directly. The problem was with the endpoint provided by:

iot_client = boto3.client("iot", region_name=os.getenv("IOT_REGION"))
iot_client.describe_endpoint(endpointType="iot:Data-ATS").get("endpointAddress")

It fails during authentication:

I fixed it by getting the endpoint directly from the IOT-Core settings page:

client('iot-data',
       aws_access_key_id     = '<MY ACCESS KEY>',
       aws_secret_access_key = '<MY ACCESS SECRET KEY>',
       endpoint_url          = '<MY ENDPOINT>');
