SSL Verification failed when trying to use OpenAI library
I am using an Azure OpenAI model with Python notebook in Fabric.
client = openai.AzureOpenAI(
api_key=AZURE_OPENAI_API_KEY,
azure_endpoint=AZURE_OPENAI_ENDPOINT,
api_version=API_VERSION
)
response = client.chat.completions.create()
The above code when run throws SSL issue, although if I try it in local environment it works fine.
The error that appears is:
I tried the following installations to make sure SSL certificates are:
pip install -U openai
pip install pip-system-certs
pip install --upgrade certifi
Hello govindarajan_d
give it a try
import httpx
client = openai.AzureOpenAI(
api_key=AZURE_OPENAI_API_KEY,
azure_endpoint=AZURE_OPENAI_ENDPOINT,
api_version=API_VERSION,
http_client=httpx.Client(verify="/path/to/your/custom_certificate.pem")
)not recommended for prod, but lets see if this works

Hi nilendraFabric,
The code worked, I pointed it to the existing certificate.
client = openai.AzureOpenAI( api_key=AZURE_OPENAI_API_KEY, azure_endpoint=AZURE_OPENAI_ENDPOINT, api_version=API_VERSION, http_client=httpx.Client(verify="/etc/ssl/certs/ca-certificates.crt"), )But why doesn't it work normally when other libraries like requests work without issues? Also, for production what would you suggest?
Great it worked govindarajan_d
I would suggest store pem in Key vault and then use it here.
or store it in a place where it cant be accessed unauthorised.
it often contains sensitive information such as private keys, which must be protected from unauthorized access.if this is helpful please accept the solution
Also works with
http_client=httpx.AsyncClient
