SSL handshake error (CERTIFICATE_VERIFY_FAILED) in grpc++

Question

I am unable to change find the SSL certificate that the grpc speech recognition application uses.

I need to change the certificates as I am under a secure network which monitors all the HTTPS traffic and uses a different certificate than default.

While running the above mentioned speech recognition example, I am getting the error as

E0128 15:20:51.191576608    7156 ssl_transport_security.cc:1233] Handshake failed with fatal error SSL_ERROR_SSL: error:1000007d:SSL routines:OPENSSL_internal:CERTIFICATE_VERIFY_FAILED

I tried to find the location where I can change the SSL certificates and put the certificate provided by the XYZ framework . I have XYZ.pem certificate file which I put in \\etc\\ssl\\certs but nothing changed.

Can someone help me resolve this?

Answer 1

This solved my problem.

Just go to /etc/ssl/certs and find where the ca-bundles.pem is pointing.

Go to the file ca-bundles.pem (for me it was in /var/lib/ca-certificates/ca-bundles.pem ) and add your certificate manually by copying it from the .pem file.

save the changes and run your tests. :)
