Hi,

I’m currently setting up serverless framework against a local openwhisk instance for testing/evaluation purposes. The instance is the default Vagrant installation of openwhisk.

Everything is working (connection and .wskprops are correct) , but except the serverless deploy - which looks like caused by the self-signed-certificate. For the wsk command you can bypass this with (-i option).

Is there a possibility in serverless or module to additionally send the insecure option ?

Error from deploying the boilerplate example code.

CANDYBOX:localess arnold$ serverless deploy -v

This should now be resolved with the 0.5 release of the plugin.

Use the following configuration to support this.

````auto
provider:
    name: openwhisk
    ignore_certs: true
```
````
