v3.2.2 can not create redfish client

[nathanlin24]

Hello,

It's observed on the released version 3.2.2, I'm not able to create a redfish client object from the class. Please see snippet below for the exception. It seems to be failing for auth and cert, Can you please take a look and let me know input I'm missing?

This is fixed in 3.3.0.0 version which will be released soon. You can continue to use 3.2.1 until then.

@rajeevkallur is there an ETA on 3.3.0 release?
