error with oci cli on Windows #1026
Description
I have installed the Oracle OCI CLI on my Windows machine with the MSI installer.
I am able to execute oci cli commands from the command prompt
UNLESS I am connected to my corporate VPN via the CATO client.
In this case I get the following error:
C:\Users\kkline>oci os ns get
SSLException:
{
"client_version": "Oracle-PythonCLI/3.72.0",
"logging_tips": "Please run the OCI CLI command using --debug flag to find more debug information.",
"message": "It looks like you are missing some additional certificates for operation. run 'curl request_endpoint' to make sure you are able to call endpoint using curl.",
"request_endpoint": " GET https://objectstorage.uk-london-1.oraclecloud.com",
"target_service": "CLI",
"timestamp": "2026-01-22T04:00:04.684205",
"troubleshooting_tips": "If you have a root certificate, either use --cert-bundle <path_to_cert_bundle_file> with CLI command or set REQUESTS_CA_BUNDLE env variable. i.e export REQUESTS_CA_BUNDLE=path_to_cert_bundle_file on POSIX-compliant bash-like shell terminal. See [https://docs.oracle.com/iaas/Content/API/SDKDocs/clitroubleshooting.htm] for more information about resolving this error. If you are unable to resolve this issue, run this CLI command with --debug option and contact Oracle support and provide them the full error message."
}
I have tried
set OCI_CLI_SKIP_VERIFY_SSL=True
and
set REQUESTS_CA_BUNDLE="C:\Program Files (x86)\Oracle\oci_cli\Lib\certifi"
Neither solves the problem.
Any help or guidance would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks
