curl server certificate verification failed - php

I have a bunch of PHP scripts that use curl to communicate with various services. Currently, one of those services' SSL certificate got updated and my curl started crying about it when I try to get it from my server's CLI:
~$ curl https://example.com
curl: (60) server certificate verification failed. CAfile: /etc/ssl/certs/ca-certificates.crt CRLfile: none
More details here: http://curl.haxx.se/docs/sslcerts.html
curl performs SSL certificate verification by default, using a "bundle" of Certificate Authority (CA) public keys (CA certs). If the default bundle file isn't adequate, you can specify an alternate file using the --cacert option.
If this HTTPS server uses a certificate signed by a CA represented in the bundle, the certificate verification probably failed due to a problem with the certificate (it might be expired, or the name might not match the domain name in the URL).
If you'd like to turn off curl's verification of the certificate, use the -k (or --insecure) option.
Currently, I hardcoded verify => false to all of my requests in order to keep my scripts operating but that's not something I would like to have laying around.
I got the latest cacert file from mozilla, put it in /etc/ssl/certs/ca-certificates.crt and then ran sudo update-ca-certificates which ran successfully (I suppose..)
~$ sudo update-ca-certificates
Updating certificates in /etc/ssl/certs...
0 added, 0 removed; done.
Running hooks in /etc/ca-certificates/update.d...
done.
But then again curl is not too happy about it, still can't get my resource without passing the -k flag.

You can use the openssl s_client command to further debug the issue, in order to find out what exactly seems to be the problem with the certificate.
openssl s_client -showcerts -servername myservice.com -connect myservice.com:443

Curl says SSL certificate is expired when it is not

When using curl on my server to access my other servers, I get this response:
curl: (60) SSL certificate problem: certificate has expired
More details here: https://curl.haxx.se/docs/sslcerts.html
curl performs SSL certificate verification by default, using a "bundle"
of Certificate Authority (CA) public keys (CA certs). If the default
bundle file isn't adequate, you can specify an alternate file
using the --cacert option.
If this HTTPS server uses a certificate signed by a CA represented in
the bundle, the certificate verification probably failed due to a
problem with the certificate (it might be expired, or the name might
not match the domain name in the URL).
If you'd like to turn off curl's verification of the certificate, use
the -k (or --insecure) option.
Using curl from my local machine or opening the same URL in the browser displays the certificate as valid. The problem seems to be due to letsencrypt shutting down support for an older root certificate. But I am just not able to update the trusted root certificates of the server.
I tried update-ca-certificates -f -v and manually downloading the updated root certificates via wget https://curl.se/ca/cacert.pem -O /etc/ssl/certs/cacert.pem but nothing works.
Any ideas?
As the information is not enough, I cannot confirm the cause, but you may try the following steps to remove the old Let'sEncrypt CA:
Check DST Root is in /etc/pki/tls/certs/ca-bundle.crt, and ISRG Root
X1 is in ISRG Root X1.
Copy the "# DST Root CA X3" section into /etc/pki/ca-trust/source/blacklist directory as pem file
run update-ca-trust
Check DST Root is no longer in
/etc/pki/tls/certs/ca-bundle.crt, and ISRG Root X1 is in ISRG Root
X1.
This may be late.
But recently I faced this issue
In my case, the system time was set to 2012 for somereason!!
I just fixed it by synchronizing the time:
timedatectl set-ntp true
Suddenly, curl works.
In fact I wasn't trying curl itself, I was trying to install composer on centos 7 when this error appeared, but now everything is great.
Stupid error took me a whole day to fix!

Curl failed: NSS: client certificate not found (nickname not specified) - On Centos 7

I know this has been asked on SO before but I think my situation is a little bit different:
When I'm trying to use curl inside PHP I receive the following error when trying to interact with apples push notification service (https://api.push.apple.com/3/device/)
Curl failed: NSS: client certificate not found (nickname not specified)
This is due to the fact that on centos, php is build with curl that uses NSS instead OpenSSL.
What I tried so far:
Recompiling curl (worked! Binary is able to perform the call, but php is not)
Recompiling php (didnt work, as it requires curl-devel to be installed, which might link to NSS again)
So my next approach is to fix this NSS problem, but it turns out NSS is a very bad piece of software as just a simple rename of an imported lets-ecnrypt certificate doesnt work.. ..
Could someone please explain me how I could fix this? I already tried importing a lets encrypt certificate into the NSS database stored in /etc/pki/nssdb, that worked - but unfortunately the certificate is not recognized in PHP, even if I provide its nickname in CURLOPT_SSLCERT => 'nickname'.
Maybe this is because it has special characters inside its nickname which i cannot change as NSS fails to rename (lol).
When I directly try to provide certificates in php using
CURLOPT_SSLCERT => $certFile,
CURLOPT_SSLKEY => $keyFile,
CURLOPT_CAINFO => $caCertFile
I get:
Curl failed: Peer's Certificate issuer is not recognized.
I also turned of peer verification by
CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYPEER => FALSE
ending in
Curl failed: security library failure
Is there anybody out there who could teach me how to fix it or how to build php on centos with builting curl using openssl?
BR,
Finally I got this working, here is what I did:
Recompiled curl with openssl and put the libcurl.so.4 in a new folder /home/mylibs/
Copied all libs from /usr/lib to /home/mylibs/ while not replacing my libcurl.so.4
Located the system's php-cgi binary, renamed it to php-cgi-real
Created a blank file php-cgi
#! /bin/bash
export LD_PRELOAD=/home/mylibs/libcurl.so.4
exec php-cgi-real "$#"
Restarted the service
Done!

Facebook SDK returned an error: error setting certificate verify locations [duplicate]

I am getting the following error using curl:
curl: (77) error setting certificate verify locations:
CAfile: /etc/ssl/certs/ca-certificates.crt
CApath: none
How do I set this certificate verify locations?
I also had the newest version of ca-certificates installed but was still getting the error:
curl: (77) error setting certificate verify locations:
CAfile: /etc/pki/tls/certs/ca-bundle.crt
CApath: none
The issue was that curl expected the certificate to be at the path /etc/pki/tls/certs/ca-bundle.crt but could not find it because it was at the path /etc/ssl/certs/ca-certificates.crt.
Copying my certificate to the expected destination by running
sudo cp /etc/ssl/certs/ca-certificates.crt /etc/pki/tls/certs/ca-bundle.crt
worked for me. You will need to create folders for the target destination if they do not exist by running
sudo mkdir -p /etc/pki/tls/certs
If needed, modify the above command to make the destination file name match the path expected by curl, i.e. replace /etc/pki/tls/certs/ca-bundle.crt with the path following "CAfile:" in your error message.
This error is related to a missing package: ca-certificates. Install it.
In Ubuntu Linux (and similar distro):
# apt-get install ca-certificates
In CygWin via Apt-Cyg
# apt-cyg install ca-certificates
In Arch Linux (Raspberry Pi)
# pacman -S ca-certificates
The documentation tells:
This package includes PEM files of CA certificates to allow SSL-based applications to check for the authenticity of SSL connections.
As seen at: Debian -- Details of package ca-certificates in squeeze
Put this into your .bashrc
# fix CURL certificates path
export CURL_CA_BUNDLE=/etc/ssl/certs/ca-certificates.crt
(see comment from Robert)
Create a file ~/.curlrc with the following content
cacert=/etc/ssl/certs/ca-certificates.crt
as follows
echo "cacert=/etc/ssl/certs/ca-certificates.crt" >> ~/.curlrc
The quickest way to get around the error is add on the -k option somewhere in your curl request. That option "allows connections to SSL cites without certs." (from curl --help)
Be aware that this may mean that you're not talking to the endpoint you think you are, as they are presenting a certificate not signed by a CA you trust.
For example:
$ curl -o /usr/bin/apt-cyg https://raw.github.com/cfg/apt-cyg/master/apt-cyg
gave me the following error response:
curl: (77) error setting certificate verify locations:
CAfile: /usr/ssl/certs/ca-bundle.crt
CApath: none
I added on -k:
curl -o /usr/bin/apt-cyg https://raw.github.com/cfg/apt-cyg/master/apt-cyg -k
and no error message. As a bonus, now I have apt-cyg installed. And ca-certificates.
From $ man curl:
--cert-type <type>
(SSL) Tells curl what certificate type the provided certificate
is in. PEM, DER and ENG are recognized types. If not specified,
PEM is assumed.
If this option is used several times, the last one will be used.
--cacert <CA certificate>
(SSL) Tells curl to use the specified certificate file to verify
the peer. The file may contain multiple CA certificates. The
certificate(s) must be in PEM format. Normally curl is built to
use a default file for this, so this option is typically used to
alter that default file.
#roens is correct. This affects all Anaconda users, with below error
curl: (77) error setting certificate verify locations:
CAfile: /etc/pki/tls/certs/ca-bundle.crt
CApath: none
The workaround is to use the default system curl and avoid messing with the prepended Anaconda PATH variable. You can either
Rename the Anaconda curl binary :)
mv /path/to/anaconda/bin/curl /path/to/anaconda/bin/curl_anaconda
OR remove Anaconda curl
conda remove curl
$ which curl
/usr/bin/curl
[0] Anaconda Ubuntu curl Github issue https://github.com/conda/conda-recipes/issues/352
If anyone is still having trouble, try this, it worked for me.
Delete the files in your /etc/ssl/certs/ directory
then reinstall ca-certificates:
sudo apt install ca-certificates --reinstall
Did this when I tried installing Linuxbrew.
Another alternative to fix this problem is to disable the certificate validation:
echo insecure >> ~/.curlrc
For PHP code running on XAMPP on Windows I found I needed to edit php.ini to include the below
[curl]
; A default value for the CURLOPT_CAINFO option. This is required to be an
; absolute path.
curl.cainfo = curl-ca-bundle.crt
and then copy to a file https://curl.haxx.se/ca/cacert.pem and rename to curl-ca-bundle.crt and place it under \xampp path (I couldn't get curl.capath to work). I also found the CAbundle on the cURL site wasn't enough for the remote site I was connecting to, so used one that is listed with a pre-compiled Windows version of curl 7.47.1 at http://winampplugins.co.uk/curl/
I had the exact same problem. As it turns out, my /etc/ssl/certs/ca-certificates.crt file was malformed. The last entry showed something like this:
-----BEGIN CERTIFICATE-----
MIIEDTCCAvWgAwIBAgIJAN..lots of certificate text....AwIBAgIJAN-----END CERTIFICATE-----
After adding a newline before -----END CERTIFICATE-----, curl was able handle the certificates file.
This was very annoying to find out since my update-ca-certificates command did not give me any warning.
This may or may not be a version specific problem of curl, so here is my version, just for completeness:
curl --version
# curl 7.51.0 (x86_64-alpine-linux-musl) libcurl/7.51.0 OpenSSL/1.0.2j zlib/1.2.8 libssh2/1.7.0
# Protocols: dict file ftp ftps gopher http https imap imaps pop3 pop3s rtsp scp sftp smb smbs smtp smtps telnet tftp
# Features: IPv6 Largefile NTLM NTLM_WB SSL libz TLS-SRP UnixSockets
This worked for me
sudo apt-get install ca-certificates
then go into the certificates folder at
sudo cd /etc/ssl/certs
then you copy the ca-certificates.crt file into the /etc/pki/tls/certs
sudo cp ca-certificates.crt /etc/pki/tls/certs
if there is no tls/certs folder: create one and change permissions using chmod 777 -R folderNAME
curl performs SSL certificate verification by default, using a "bundle"
of Certificate Authority (CA) public keys (CA certs). The default
bundle is named curl-ca-bundle.crt; you can specify an alternate file
using the --cacert option.
If this HTTPS server uses a certificate signed by a CA represented in
the bundle, the certificate verification probably failed due to a
problem with the certificate (it might be expired, or the name might
not match the domain name in the URL).
If you'd like to turn off curl's verification of the certificate, use
the -k (or --insecure) option.
for example
curl --insecure http://........
It seems your curl points to a non-existing file with CA certs or similar.
For the primary reference on CA certs with curl, see: https://curl.haxx.se/docs/sslcerts.html
Just create the folders, which is missing in your system..
/etc/pki/tls/certs/
and create the file using the following command,
sudo apt-get install ca-certificates
and then copy and paste the certificate to the destination folder, which is showing in your error.. mine was " with message 'error setting certificate verify locations: CAfile: /etc/pki/tls/certs/ca-bundle.crt CApath: none' in " make sure you paste the file to the exact location mentioned in the error. Use the following command to copy paste..
sudo cp /etc/ssl/certs/ca-certificates.crt
/etc/pki/tls/certs/ca-bundle.crt
Fixed.
I've got the same problem : I'm building a alpine based docker image, and when I want to curl to a website of my organisation, this error appears. To solve it, I have to get the CA cert of my company, then, I have to add it to the CA certs of my image.
Get the CA certificate
Use OpenSSL to get the certificates related to the website :
openssl s_client -showcerts -servername my.company.website.org -connect my.company.website.org:443
This will output something like :
CONNECTED(00000005)
depth=2 CN = UbisoftRootCA
verify error:num=19:self signed certificate in certificate chain
...
-----BEGIN CERTIFICATE-----
...
-----END CERTIFICATE-----
-----BEGIN CERTIFICATE-----
...
-----END CERTIFICATE-----
...
Get the last certificate (the content between the -----BEGIN CERTIFICATE----- and the
-----END CERTIFICATE----- markups included) and save it into a file (mycompanyRootCA.crt for example)
Build your image
Then, when you'll build your docker image from alpine, do the following :
FROM alpine
RUN apk add ca-certificates curl
COPY mycompanyRootCA.crt /usr/local/share/ca-certificates/mycompanyRootCA.crt
RUN update-ca-certificates
Your image will now work properly ! \o/
I came across this curl 77 problem while was trying to access elasticsearch running in docker container on Ubuntu 20.04 localhost. Afrer container was started:
Check curl without ssl: curl --cacert http_ca.crt -u elastic https://localhost:9200 -k lowercase -k for insecure connection.
Check curl configs: curl-config --configure, noticed what is ca-bundle: --with-ca-bundle=/etc/ssl/certs/ca-certificates.crt.
Copy http_ca.crt file from container to:/usr/local/share/ca-certificates/, original command is here.
Run update on ca-certificates: sudo update-ca-certificates.
Run curl: curl -u elastic:<password> https://localhost:9201.
Finally got response with "tagline" : "You Know, for Search".
Change <password> to the one that was generated when Docker Image was run.
Also notice that on my machine elastic was started on port 9201 (don't know why: sudo ss -tlpn | grep 9200 gives me nothing), I have found the port with: sudo netstat -ntlp and Programm name was docker-proxy.
For what it's worth, checking which curl is being run is significant too.
A user on a shared machine I maintain had been getting this error. But the cause turned out to be because they'd installed Anaconda (http://continuum.io). Doing so put Anaconda's binary path before the standard $PATH, and it comes with its own curl binary, which had trouble finding the default certs that were installed on this Ubuntu machine.
Just find this solution works perfectly for me.
echo 'cacert=/etc/ssl/certs/ca-certificates.crt' > ~/.curlrc
I found this solution from here
Run following command in git bash that works fine for me
git config --global http.sslverify "false"
I use MobaXterm which intern uses Cygwin so even after installing ca-certificates using apt-cyg install ca-certificates problem didn't resolve.
I was still getting the following error:
curl: (77) error setting certificate verify locations: CAfile: /etc/ssl/certs/ca-certificates.crt CApath: none
Then I tried listing the file /etc/ssl/certs/ca-certificates.crt and I couldn't find it. However I could find /usr/ssl/certs/ca-bundle.crt with all standard CA certificates so I copied the file /usr/ssl/certs/ca-bundle.crt as /etc/ssl/certs/ca-certificates.crt and problem got resolved.
I had this problem as well. My issue was this file:
/usr/ssl/certs/ca-bundle.crt
is by default just an empty file. So even if it exists, you'll still get the error as it doesn't contain any certificates. You can generate them like this:
p11-kit extract --overwrite --format pem-bundle /usr/ssl/certs/ca-bundle.crt
https://github.com/msys2/MSYS2-packages/blob/master/ca-certificates/ca-certificates.install
For windows :-
Download the certificate from https://curl.se/docs/caextract.html
Rename cacert.pem to curl-ca-bundle.crt
Add the file to any of the below locations
Check this for details https://curl.se/docs/sslcerts.html

How to Get Apache to Accept a Self Signed Cert Made By Java's KeyTool

Apache/PHP/Symphony is being used in my middle layer for authentication and routing. A request comes through on http then if the request authenticates the person making the request is authorized then makes a call to a backend web service over https. The back end web service is over https with a self signed certificate. I can hit the backend service directly and see my certificate information via chrome inspector. When I make the request directly to the backend via the url, everything works. When I try to go through the middle layer, I get a response back that is a 504:
{"code":504,"message":"A network communication error has occurred","error":{"code":77,"message":"SSL: can\u0027t load CA certificate file \/etc\/pki\/tls\/certs\/ca-bundle.crt"}}
I generated the certificate to:
/usr/local/jboss-eap-6.4/standalone/configuration/.keystore
Using the command:
keytool -genkey -keyalg RSA -alias jboss -keystore .keystore -storepass changeit -validity 9999 -keysize 2048
I also updated my standalone.xml to reference the file via:
<ssl name="ssl" key-alias="jboss" password="changeit" certificate-key-file="/usr/local/jboss-eap-6.4/standalone/configuration/.keystore" protocol="TLSv1" verify-client="false"/>
My dev machine is OSX.
It seems that apache or symfony is looking for the cert in /etc/pki/tls/certs/ca-bundle.cert which is a file that doesn't exist on my system. Searching for "pki" in /etc/apache2/httpd.conf yields no results.
How do I setup apache/symfony2 to trust this cert, or is there a different way to trust this cert more globally?
Create the CA Cert Bundle File
The system is looking for /etc/pki/tls/certs/ca-bundle.cert which is a standard path on linux, but not on osx. We get around this by generating the file.
I generated the .keystore file using keytool and used jboss for my alias. In order to build the ca bundle file, we need it to be in the pem format, so we need to add the -rfc to our export statement. Below are the commands:
cd /usr/local/jboss-eap-6.4/standalone/configuration
keytool -export -alias jboss -file local-sbx.dev.yourcompany.com.crt -keystore .keystore -rfc
After you have the file, you can cat it out and verify that the file has the BEGIN CERTIFICATE and END CERTIFICATE stuff in it. If so, its in the right format.
Lastly, create the directory structure, move the cert to act like the bundle (which is just a bunch of certs appended to each other) and then restart apache:
mkdir -p /etc/pki/tls/certs/
sudo cp local-sbx.dev.yourcompany.com.crt /etc/pki/tls/certs/ca-bundle.crt
sudo apachectl restart
Note: This was a sub problem of SSL: can't load CA certificate file /etc/pki/tls/certs/ca-bundle.crt so if you are still having issues, you might need to update your php setup too... directions are in the link provided.

CurlException: [curl] 51: SSL: certificate verification failed

Can't figure out what could be:
In my local environment, after I updated my OSX to the last version of Yosemite, I get this error:
CurlException: [curl] 51: SSL: certificate verification failed (result: 5) [url]
I'm using Symfony2 so it is related to PHP. I tried to reinstall openssl but nothing happen.
Any suggestion?
Look at the certificate chain for whatever domain is giving you this error. For me it was googleapis.com
openssl s_client -host www.googleapis.com -port 443
You'll get back something like this:
CONNECTED(00000005)
depth=1 C = US, O = Google Trust Services, CN = Google Internet Authority G3
verify error:num=20:unable to get local issuer certificate
---
Certificate chain
0 s:/C=US/ST=California/L=Mountain View/O=Google Inc/CN=*.googleapis.com
i:/C=US/O=Google Trust Services/CN=Google Internet Authority G3
1 s:/C=US/O=Google Trust Services/CN=Google Internet Authority G3
i:/OU=GlobalSign Root CA - R2/O=GlobalSign/CN=GlobalSign
Note: I captured this after I fixed the issue. Also, your chain output will look different.
Then you need to look at the certificates allowed in php running under apache. Run phpinfo() in a page.
<?php echo phpinfo();
Then look for the certificate file that's loaded from the page output by searching the page for openssl.cafile:
openssl.cafile openssl.cafile /usr/local/php5/ssl/certs/cacert.pem
This is the file you'll need to fix by adding the correct certificate(s) to it.
sudo nano /usr/local/php5/ssl/certs/cacert.pem
You basically need to append the correct certificate "signatures" to the end of this file.
You can find some of them here:
https://pki.google.com/
https://www.geotrust.com/resources/root-certificates/index.html
They look like this:
(Note: This is an image so people will not simply copy/paste certificates from stackoverflow)
If you need to convert a .crt to pem, you'll need to do something like this:
openssl x509 -inform DER -outform PEM -in GIAG2.crt -out GIA2.pem
Once the right certificates are in this file, restart apache and test.
Someone already asked a similar question, please look here: HTTPS and SSL3_GET_SERVER_CERTIFICATE:certificate verify failed, CA is OK
also, there is an article here: http://unitstep.net/blog/2009/05/05/using-curl-in-php-to-access-https-ssltls-protected-sites/
Fix for this problem is to unset the value for SSL_CERT_FILE
Run the command :
export SSL_CERT_FILE=""
And then try performing the desired actions and it will work properly.
Reference : Curl 'certificate verification failed' on mac
Try to downgrade curl from 7.37.1 (shipped with beta2) to 7.37.0
Add those options to ignore ceritificate:
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYHOST, 0);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYPEER, 0);
