Try setting the "validate_certs" to "no" as for some reason Ansible checks the Palo Alto cert. Also upgrade to the latest version of ansible.

 

 

Also increase the verbosity with "-vvvv" to see better the error message and to google it.  EXAMPLE:  ansible-playbook 'playbook_name '-vvvv

Hello @nikoolayy1 , 

 

thanks for suggestions, I tried it already but it didn't help as it belong to uri module and here I'm using palo's provided module. 

 

Well, this issue belongs to ansible itself as ansible is not able to verify the certificate received from the client. I'm still to find out the actual root cause but we can disable this checks by adding below environment to playbook which will exclude the cert verification.

 

 
  environment:
    PYTHONHTTPSVERIFY0
