Hello,
based on RHEVM 3.2 and 3.3 beta docs I'm trying connection from ovirt cli.
I have:
engine on f19 + ovirt stable ovirt-engine-3.3.1-2.fc19.noarch
client from where I run cli is f19 with
ovirt-engine-sdk-python-3.3.0.7-1.fc19.noarch
ovirt-engine-cli-3.3.0.5-1.fc19.noarch

$ curl -o ovirt-f18engine.cer http://f18engine/ca.crt

$ cat ~/.ovirtshellrc
[cli]
autoconnect = True
autopage = True
[ovirt-shell]
username = "internal\\admin"
timeout = None
extended_prompt = False
url = https://f18engine:443/api
insecure = False
filter = False
session_timeout = None
ca_file =
dont_validate_cert_chain = False
key_file = None
password =
cert_file = /home/gcecchi/ovirt-f18engine.cer

cert_file seems not to work because I get

$ ovirt-shell -c
Password:

error: server CA certificate file must be specified for SSL secured connection.

I presume referring to
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=960983
still in verified state

$ ovirt-shell -c -A /home/gcecchi/ovirt-f18engine.cer
Password:

error: [Errno 336265225] _ssl.c:351: error:140B0009:SSL
routines:SSL_CTX_use_PrivateKey_file:PEM lib

           Welcome to oVirt shell

[oVirt shell (disconnected)]# exit


If I change .ovirtshellrc contents with
cert_file =

and run
$ ovirt-shell -c -A /home/gcecchi/ovirt-f18engine.cer
Password:

I get
error: _ssl.c:291: Both the key & certificate files must be specified

What I'm doing wrong?

Gianluca
