Could not connect via HTTPS to https://forge.puppetlabs.com on windows
Error: Could not connect via HTTPS to https://forge.puppetlabs.com
Unable to verify the SSL certificate
The certificate may not be signed by a valid CA
The CA bundle included with OpenSSL may not be valid or up to date
This issue occurred when your windows system ssl cert is not updated. Few links suggest that you need to take update & try opening forge website. But this doesn't work with me.
I end up applying following solution :-
Step 1: Put following content in a file name it as : geotrustglobal.pem

Step 2: Go to the place where file is stored. And execute following command
certutil -v -addstore Root geotrustglobal.pem
Out put would be like:-
C:\GeoTrust>certutil -v -addstore Root geotrustglobal.pem
Root
Signature matches Public Key
Certificate "CN=UTN-USERFirst-Hardware, OU=http://www.usertrust.com, O=The USERT
RUST Network, L=Salt Lake City, S=UT, C=US" added to store.
CertUtil: -addstore command completed successfully.
Updating module works after applying this solution :)
