[Python] "SSL: CERTIFICATE_VERIFY_FAILED" for QiskitRuntimeService function

I am trying to execute one simple Quantum gate (to put a qbit in superposition state). I am able to simulate it in my local PC with AET modules. But when trying to execute same on quantum resource, I am facing problem in connecting to IBM Quantum resource. Below is the python code i am trying to use.


from qiskit import QuantumCircuit

from qiskit_ibm_runtime import QiskitRuntimeService, Sampler

service = QiskitRuntimeService(
channel='ibm_quantum',
instance='ibm-q/open/main',
token='API TOKEN'
)

# Create a simple quantum circuit
qc = QuantumCircuit(2, 2)
qc.h(0)
qc.cx(0, 1)
qc.measure([0, 1], [0, 1])

# Use the Sampler primitive to run the circuit
sampler = Sampler(session=service)
job = sampler.run(circuits=qc, shots=1024)

# Get the results
result = job.result()

print(result)




But I get below error: File "C:\path\venv\lib\site-packages\qiskit_ibm_runtime\api\session.py", line 351, in request raise RequestsApiError(message, status_code) from ex qiskit_ibm_runtime.api.exceptions.RequestsApiError: "HTTPSConnectionPool(host='auth.quantum-computing.ibm.com', port=443): Max retries exceeded with url: /api/version (Caused by SSLError(SSLCertVerificationError(1, '[SSL: CERTIFICATE_VERIFY_FAILED] certificate verify failed: self signed certificate in certificate chain (_ssl.c:1125)')))"

Even I tried to change the verification method in requests function setting it to False. But I face unauthorization for the IBM website.
