If you encounter an error during the subscription process on your RedHat systems, specifically the error message



'Unable to verify server's identity: [SSL: CERTIFICATE_VERIFY_FAILED] certificate verify failed (_ssl.c:618),'


You can resolve it by modifying the 'insecure'

label in the rhsm.conf configuration file. Change the value from 0 to 1 using the following commands located at /etc/rhsm/rhsm.conf.



vi /etc/rhsm/rhsm.conf


Edit the insecure line 0 to 1



# Set to 1 to disable certificate validation:
insecure = 1
