This is a text-only version of the following page on https://raymii.org: --- Title : CentOS 5 CA Certificate Bundle Update Author : Remy van Elst Date : 06-07-2014 URL : https://raymii.org/s/snippets/CentOS_5_CA_Certificate_Bundle_Update.html Format : Markdown/HTML --- This simple snippet shows you how to update the root ca certificate bundle on CentOS 5. Some websites have certificates signed by authorities not in the default bundle and those websites will not work with tools like git, curl, wget or anything else that uses https.

When trying to clone a repository from Github on an older CentOS 5 machine I ran into an SSL certificate verification issue. As it turns out, the Github certificate was no longer singed by one of the trusted root certificate authorities in CentOS 5. Therefore I could not clone the repo over https. The error looks a bit like this: *** error: SSL certificate problem, verify that the CA cert is OK. Details: *** error:14090086:SSL routines:SSL3_GET_SERVER_CERTIFICATE:certificate verify failed while accessing https://github.com/RaymiiOrg/nopriv.py.git/info/refs *** fatal: HTTP request failed *** Clone of 'https://github.com/RaymiiOrg/NoPriv.py.git' failed By updating the root ca bundle we can fix this problem. The [cURL website][2] has a bundle ready that also ships with cURL, and work on CentOS 5. First, backup the old bundle: cp /etc/pki/tls/certs/ca-bundle.crt /etc/pki/tls/certs/ca-bundle.crt.bak Then download the new bundle: wget -O /etc/pki/tls/certs/ca-bundle.crt http://curl.haxx.se/ca/cacert.pem [1]: https://www.digitalocean.com/?refcode=7435ae6b8212 [2]: http://curl.haxx.se --- License: All the text on this website is free as in freedom unless stated otherwise.
