SSL: CERTIFICATE_VERIFY_FAILED certificate verify failed: Hostname mismatch, certificate is not valid for 'url''

Question

I am trying to access Solr using urllib2 as instaructed here: https://lucene.apache.org/solr/guide/7_3/using-python.html using urllib

but running into error raise URLError(err) urllib.error.URLError: <urlopen error [SSL: CERTIFICATE_VERIFY_FAILED] certificate verify failed: Hostname mismatch, certificate is not valid for 'the_dns-for-lb'

The cert exist in AWS ACM and there is custom auth, can someone guide me how to establish connection?

from urllib.request import urlopen
connection = urlopen('https://dns-for-lb/solr/design').read()
response = eval(connection.read())

tried: Using urllib gives SSL error Using urllib gives SSL error pip install fails with "connection error: [SSL: CERTIFICATE_VERIFY_FAILED] certificate verify failed (_ssl.c:598)"
