[chef] Fwd: Pass --no-check-certificate to knife?

[Martin Cleaver < >]

Hi,

When I try to bootstrap a new node, just like http://serverfault.com/questions/577062/error-cannot-verify-www-opscode-coms-certificate , I get cannot verify www.opscode.com's certificate

https://botbot.me/freenode/chef/search/?q=knife+no-check-certificate shows this question has been asked a couple of times on IRC.

So, without making a special O/S template (Ubuntu in this case), is there a way of either initializing the certificate store or passing --no-check-certificate such that it gets to curl / wget?

Thanks,

   Martin.
