Answer

Hi. It seems you are using GGv1. Please be aware that GGv1 is now in maintenance mode and GGv2 is recommended for any new development. Please consider to follow this tutorial instead: https://docs.aws.amazon.com/greengrass/v2/developerguide/client-devices-tutorial.html

That said, the **BasicDiscovery.py** script in the Python V1 SDK should perform Greengrass discovery and retrieve the GGv1 group CA (https://github.com/aws/aws-iot-device-sdk-python/blob/master/samples/greengrass/basicDiscovery.py#L106). It should then use the group CA to connect to the GGv1 core (https://github.com/aws/aws-iot-device-sdk-python/blob/master/samples/greengrass/basicDiscovery.py#L150). But it looks like it's finding and using the wrong group CA.
