How to use an SSL certificate that was created by your own Certificate Authority for OAuth2
When you use an SSL certificate that was created by your own Certificate Authority, you will see the following error in the logs when you try to login through your OAuth2 provider:
[ERROR] Error requesting accessing token: "Can't connect to server.domain.com:443
(certificate verify failed)\n\nSSL connect attempt failed error:
1416F086: SSLroutines: tls_process_server_certificate: certificate verify failed
at /opt/opsview/perl/lib/perl5/LWP/Protocol/http.pm line 50.\n"
After failing the authentication process, you will be sent back to the Opsview login page with the following error:
Authentication Error: contact administrator
The Perl module used in this process utilizes Mozilla’s bundle of Certificate Authority certificates. To resolve this issue, you will need to add your CA certificate to the bundle.
- Open and edit the following file: /opt/opsview/perl/lib/perl5/Mozilla/CA/cacert.pem. You will want to add your CA cert here to the cacert.pem file.
