Error installing provider "aws": Get https://releases.hashicorp.com/terraform-provider-aws/: x509: certificate has expired or is not yet valid.

Terraform analyses the configuration and state and automatically downloads
plugins for the providers used. However, when attempting to download this
plugin an unexpected error occured.

This may be caused if for some reason Terraform is unable to reach the
plugin repository. The repository may be unreachable if access is blocked
by a firewall.

If automatic installation is not possible or desirable in your environment,
you may alternatively manually install plugins by downloading a suitable
distribution package and placing the plugin's executable file in the
following directory:
    terraform.d/plugins/linux_amd64

[root@localhost terraform]# uname
Linux

Can you share a bit more info about the machine? Which version of CentOS are you running? Is it configured to use NTP? Especially virtual machines tend to have quite a bit of time drift without proper configuration of either NTP or clocksource syncing. That’s the angle I would consider first if it’s a VM.

I am using - Centos 6.10
[root@localhost ~]# cat /etc/centos-release
CentOS release 6.10 (Final)
[root@localhost ~]#
[root@localhost ~]# cat /proc/version
Linux version 2.6.32-696.10.2.el6.x86_64 (mockbuild@c1bl.rdu2.centos.org) (gcc version 4.4.7 20120313 (Red Hat 4.4.7-18) (GCC) ) #1 SMP Tue Sep 12 14:33:29 UTC 2017

The system does not have NTP settings. Its date is set to couple of months before.

[shishirkumar2104]

I set the date to current date. Now I am getting below error -
[root@localhost terraform]# terraform plan
Error asking for user input: 1 error(s) occurred:
