[chef] ChefDK and Test Kitchen SSL issue

[Ryan Kelley < >]

i'm running into this issue with the out of the box install of ChefDK on both a OSX system and Ubuntu. using chef generate cookbook and getting the default .kitchen.yml file and then running kitchen create to pull down and create the box. i'm getting an error at what i'm assuming is the embedded curl operation to pull down  opscode ubuntu or centos box i get this

>>>>>> ------Exception-------

>>>>>> Class: Kitchen::ActionFailed

>>>>>> Message: Failed to complete #create action: [Expected process to exit with [0], but received '1'

   SSL certificate problem: unable to get local issuer certificate

       More details here: http://curl.haxx.se/docs/sslcerts.html

       

       curl performs SSL certificate verification by default, using a "bundle"

        of Certificate Authority (CA) public keys (CA certs). If the default

        bundle file isn't adequate, you can specify an alternate file

        using the --cacert option.

       If this HTTPS server uses a certificate signed by a CA represented in

        the bundle, the certificate verification probably failed due to a

        problem with the certificate (it might be expired, or the name might

        not match the domain name in the URL).

       If you'd like to turn off curl's verification of the certificate, use

        the -k (or --insecure) option

this has to be a bug seeing that myself and other co-workers are getting the same error with DK 3.5.1 . 

i have tried adding the embedded SSL cert in the chefdk package to my local cert store , no dice. on my mac i have set insecure globally for curl in .curlrc which works ( i dont want this to be the fix) ,that does not work on my linux machines. i'm running the support versions of ubuntu for DK. really need to figure out what i'm doing wrong and how to fix it. 

thanks
