receive_imap says SSLv3 read server certificate B: certificate verify failed

Added by Bodo Tasche at 2012-08-14 04:24 pm

Currently I am trying to add email receiving to our chili project installation with this command:

rake  redmine:email:receive_imap RAILS_ENV="production" host=XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX port=993 ssl=SSL username=USERNAME password=PASSWORD

but I only get this:

rake aborted!
    SSL_connect returned=1 errno=0 state=SSLv3 read server certificate B: certificate verify failed

How do I fix this certificate error?

Are you using a self-signed certificate on the host you're trying to connect to?

OK, to see if ChiliProject of net/imap barfs on that, try something like:

require 'net/imap'

Net::IMAP.new(HOST, 993, true).login(USERNAME, PASSWORD)

(net/imap docs: http://ruby-doc.org/stdlib-1.8.7/libdoc/net/imap/rdoc/Net/IMAP.html)

Yes, it barfs:

OpenSSL::SSL::SSLError: SSL_connect returned=1 errno=0 state=SSLv3 read server certificate B: certificate verify failed
        from /home/idotv/.rvm/rubies/ruby-1.9.2-p180/lib/ruby/1.9.1/net/imap.rb:1397:in `connect'

        from (irb):4

How do I install that missing certificate?

As the stack uses OpenSSL, you basically have to install your certificate to somewhere where OpenSSL finds it, maybe see http://gagravarr.org/writing/openssl-certs/others.shtml ?

I just copied your error into google and there was a slew of responses there too, so you might find help there.
