• Hello,

    I’m getting the following error:

    cURL error 60: Peer’s Certificate issuer is not recognized

    for both the REST API and loopback request check.

    However, running curl -I https://hostname.domainname.com or wget https://hostname.domainname.com shows a successful connection. The site address under settings > general is the same as hostname.domainname.com.

    I don’t understand where the error is coming or what the target of curl is during the check. I understand it’s settings > general but that doesn’t make any sense since it’s reporting a successful connection when run from the cli.

    There are no plugins installed except Health Check and Troubleshooting and Twenty Sixteen Theme. I changed the theme to Twenty Nineteen and had the same issue.

    I’m running WordPress on Nginx 1.17/Centos 7. Any insight is appreciated!

    Hiya,

    Is there by any chance a self-signed certificate used for HTTPS on the site? If there is, that’s likely the cause, and will be fixed in the next update of the plugin (which should be 1.5.0 I believe, I unfortunately do not have an estimate time for when that will be though, so you can safely ignore that error for now if that’s the case).

    Hi Marius,

    Unfortunately, it’s not a self signed certificate, but it is a certificate generated from our own CA which is not public or commercial. There’s nothing wrong with the certificate itself – we use them for many different web servers and devices.

    I’ve added our CAs to the system’s CA bundle and even pointed php directly to the bundle with our root/intermediate certificate in it (in case it might have been using something else directed by the plugin).

    The site works flawlessy, and I’ve never had any issues. I just gave up after a couple days of troubleshooting and am extremely confident it’s a false positive. I just don’t know how or why.
