"Certificate Verify Failed" Openssl Error When Using Ruby 1.9.3

Certificate verify failed OpenSSL error when using Ruby 1.9.3

There are lots of moving parts involved in the correct answer. Depends on your OS, Ruby version, OpenSSL version, Rubygems version. I ended up writing an article after researching it. My article explains the reasons for the error, offers steps for further diagnosis, shows several workarounds, and suggests possible solutions. This will be helpful:

ruby-1.9.3-p125 ssl error

I'm running osx lion 10.7.4

my openssl version was OpenSSL 1.0.0f and i needed to update to 1.0.1

I did this by following this guide:

http://railsapps.github.com/openssl-certificate-verify-failed.html

This was the solution that worked for me:

curl -L -O http://www.openssl.org/source/openssl-1.0.1b.tar.gz.asc
curl -L -O http://www.openssl.org/source/openssl-1.0.1b.tar.gz
gpg --verify openssl-1.0.1b.tar.gz.asc
tar xvzf openssl-1.0.1b.tar.gz
cd openssl-1.0.1b
perl ./Configure shared zlib --prefix=/opt/local darwin64-x86_64-cc
make
make test
sudo make install

OpenSSL trouble with Ruby 1.9.3

I had the same problem connecting to an authorization gateway. In the end I was able to connect by forcing sslv3

http = Net::HTTP.new(uri.host, uri.port)

http.use_ssl = true if @is_https
http.verify_mode = OpenSSL::SSL::VERIFY_NONE if @is_https
http.ssl_version = :SSLv3

How do I avoid the SSL error using hipchat-api on Ruby 1.9.3?

I Just downgraded the httparty gem to a older version(0.11.0) and that worked for me.

On ruby-1.9.3 getting OpenSSL::SSL::SSLError from net-https (Mac OSX 10.6)

I just directly modify the http.rb source(L:669) for MacOS:

def use_ssl=(flag)
  flag = flag ? true : false
  if started? and @use_ssl != flag
    raise IOError, "use_ssl value changed, but session already started"
  end
  if flag && !@ca_file //added by riceball
    @ca_file = '/opt/local/share/curl/curl-ca-bundle.crt' 
  end

must install first

 port install curl-ca-bundle

SSL Error When Making New Rails Project

After a bit of Googling, I came across a guide which shows you how to add the right SSL Cert file (which turned out to be the problem):
