All the code referenced in this chapter is available at https://github.com/PacktPublishing/Demystifying-Ansible-Automation-Platform/tree/main/ch09. You must have Ansible installed to run the code provided.

It is also possible that either the controller or the user’s command line won’t contain the self-signed certificates from Automation hub. If an error appears stating x509: certificate signed by unknown authority, then follow these steps to add the certificate to the host machine:

1. Copy the certificate from Automation hub:

   $ sudo scp <hub_fqdn>:/etc/pulp/certs/root.crt /etc/pki/ca-trust/source/anchors/automationhub-root.crt

2. Update trusted certificates:

   $ sudo update-ca-trust
