SSL_connect returned=1 errno=0 state=SSLv3 read se

Question

I am using Authlogic-Connect for third party logins. After running appropriate migrations, Twitter/Google/yahoo logins seem to work fine but the facebook login throws exception:

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

The dev log shows

OpenSSL::SSL::SSLError (SSL_connect returned=1 errno=0 state=SSLv3 read server certificate B: certificate verify failed):
  app/controllers/users_controller.rb:37:in `update'

Please suggest..

Answer 1

OS X 10.8.x with Homebrew:

brew install curl-ca-bundle
brew list curl-ca-bundle
cp /usr/local/Cellar/curl-ca-bundle/1.87/share/ca-bundle.crt /usr/local/etc/openssl/cert.pem

Answer 2

Ruby can't find any root certificates to trust.

Take a look at this blog post for a solution: "Ruby 1.9 and the SSL error".

The solution is to install the curl-ca-bundle port which contains the same root certificates used by Firefox:

sudo port install curl-ca-bundle

and tell your https object to use it:

https.ca_file = '/opt/local/share/curl/curl-ca-bundle.crt'

Note that if you want your code to run on Ubuntu, you need to set the ca_path attribute instead, with the default certificates location /etc/ssl/certs.

Answer 3

What worked for me is a combination of answers, namely:

# Reinstall OpenSSL
brew update
brew remove openssl
brew install openssl
# Download CURL CA bundle
cd /usr/local/etc/openssl/certs
wget http://curl.haxx.se/ca/cacert.pem
/usr/local/opt/openssl/bin/c_rehash
# Reinstall Ruby from source
rvm reinstall 2.2.3 --disable-binary

Answer 4

OSX solution:

install latest rvm stable version

rvm get stable

use rvm command to solve the certificates automatically

rvm osx-ssl-certs update all

Answer 5

Sometime it's not always rvm's problem in MAC OSX,if you remove .rvm,the problem still(espcially while you backup data from timemachine) ,you can try this way.

1.brew update
2.brew install openssl

Answer 6

If you're using RVM on OS X, you probably need to run this:

rvm osx-ssl-certs update all

Update

On Ruby 2.2, you may have to reinstall Ruby from source to fix this. Here's how (replace 2.2.3 with your Ruby version):

rvm reinstall 2.2.3 --disable-binary
