SSL error while trying to update conda

[ilango]

We are trying to upgrade python 36 version to 3.6.13. Py36 is venv. We use miniconda as package manager. We performed successfully this task in dev env. We tried to do the same in non prod. But facing SSL issue.
Earlier we used proxies to connect internet but not anymore. By troubleshooting we found somewhere the proxy was enabled and that is causing the SSL issue.
We do not know which program enables proxy that is causing the issue. Earlier in dev env we faced the same issue. We resolved it by removing proxy details in condarc file and other environment files.
Please advice how to identify the program that enables proxy?
