RHEL Engineering is moving the tracking of its product development work on RHEL 6 through RHEL 9 to Red Hat Jira (issues.redhat.com). If you're a Red Hat customer, please continue to file support cases via the Red Hat customer portal. If you're not, please head to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira and file new tickets here. Individual Bugzilla bugs in the statuses "NEW", "ASSIGNED", and "POST" are being migrated throughout September 2023. Bugs of Red Hat partners with an assigned Engineering Partner Manager (EPM) are migrated in late September as per pre-agreed dates. Bugs against components "kernel", "kernel-rt", and "kpatch" are only migrated if still in "NEW" or "ASSIGNED". If you cannot log in to RH Jira, please consult article #7032570. That failing, please send an e-mail to the RH Jira admins at rh-issues@redhat.com to troubleshoot your issue as a user management inquiry. The email creates a ServiceNow ticket with Red Hat. Individual Bugzilla bugs that are migrated will be moved to status "CLOSED", resolution "MIGRATED", and set with "MigratedToJIRA" in "Keywords". The link to the successor Jira issue will be found under "Links", have a little "two-footprint" icon next to it, and direct you to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira (issue links are of type "https://issues.redhat.com/browse/RHEL-XXXX", where "X" is a digit). This same link will be available in a blue banner at the top of the page informing you that that bug has been migrated.

Description Florian Weimer 2013-10-16 17:16:21 UTC
Just calling SSL_CTX_set_default_verify_paths() if neither the capath nor cafile options are specified should be sufficient.

Test case:  This should download the Bugzilla front page:

$ socat readline OPENSSL:bugzilla.redhat.com:443
GET / HTTP/1.0
<just press enter>

Failure looks like this:

$ socat readline OPENSSL:bugzilla.redhat.com:443
2013/10/16 17:34:33 socat[23714] E SSL_connect(): error:14090086:SSL routines:SSL3_GET_SERVER_CERTIFICATE:certificate verify failed

Comment 2 Gerhard 2014-04-03 11:03:12 UTC
This improvement will come with the next upstream feature release.

Comment 4 Gerhard 2015-01-24 20:35:32 UTC
Scoat version 1.7.3.0 per default uses the system certificate store.
