I'm trying to use pika to connect to RabbitMQ using SSL (self signed).

The problem is that the connect not failing if I do not give the certificate file to pika.

This is my code:

import pika
import urllib

connection = pika.BlockingConnection(pika.URLParameters("amqps://guest:guest@172.16.120.130:25585"))
channel = connection.channel()

channel.queue_declare(queue='hello')
channel.basic_publish(exchange='',
                      routing_key='hello',
                      body='Hello World!')

print(" [x] Sent 'Hello World!'")
connection.close()

And this is my rabbitmq.config:

{tcp_listeners, []},
{ssl_listeners, [25585]},
{ssl_options, [{cacertfile,           "/etc/rabbitmq/certs/cacert.pem"},
               {certfile,             "/etc/rabbitmq/certs/cert.pem"},
               {keyfile,              "/etc/rabbitmq/certs/key.pem"},
               {verify,               verify_peer},
               {versions, ['tlsv1.2', 'tlsv1.1', 'tlsv1']},
               {fail_if_no_peer_cert, false}]},

I have disabled TCP connection and enabled the SSL, why is the connection not failing?
