errorSSL_connect returned=1 errno=0 state=SSLv3 read server certificate B: certificate verify failed

[aarthiraj561]

I am using httpclient version 2.8.3 and I receive the error
'errorSSL_connect returned=1 errno=0 state=SSLv3 read server certificate B: certificate verify failed'
while I access a url trying to do auth.

I see that the issue is with the version I am using and from the docs 518982c, it is mentioned to fallback to manually use 'RSA 1024bit CA cert'.

• Can anyone please explain me how to do that?
• I copied the cert to a path and wanted to use that instead of old cert. How should I tell httpclient gem to make use of this new path? Is it possible with any ENV vars? If so which ones? and where to declare those vars(in any initializer file)?

Please let me know if I need to provide any more information to explain the issue. Thanks
