Linux: PERL SSL verification error:14090086

Published by

Posted on January 17, 2012

error:
LWP::Protocol::https::Socket: SSL connect attempt failed with unknown errorerror:14090086:SSL routines:SSL3_GET_SERVER_CERTIFICATE:certificate verify failed at /usr/share/perl5/LWP/Protocol/http.pm line 51.

Solution:
There are other solutions available but the one we needed was to turn off the verification

we ran
export PERL_LWP_SSL_VERIFY_HOSTNAME=0
