New submission from Steve Dower: In some restricted server scenarios, it is not possible to enumerate the Windows machine certificate store. A PermissionError is raised and the operation aborted.
Instead, we should simply return no certificates from _load_windows_store_certs. This will most likely cause the SSL request to fail (as the certificate cannot be verified), but it allows the use of SSL_CERT_FILE to use certificates from a local file. Without handling the PermissionError, it doesn't matter whether the environment variable is set or not - we simply fail every time. ---------- assignee: steve.dower components: Windows messages: 266285 nosy: paul.moore, steve.dower, tim.golden, zach.ware priority: normal severity: normal stage: needs patch status: open title: SSLContext._load_windows_store_certs fails with PermissionError type: behavior versions: Python 2.7, Python 3.5, Python 3.6 _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue27114> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
