error:14090086:SSL routines:SSL3_GET_SERVER_CERTIFICATE:certificate verify faile

  • I am getting this error when trying to post to a crm. 

    *** Response ***
WP_Error Object
(
    [errors:WP_Error:private] => Array
        (
            [http_request_failed] => Array
                (
                    [0] => SSL certificate problem, verify that the CA cert is OK. Details:
error:14090086:SSL routines:SSL3_GET_SERVER_CERTIFICATE:certificate verify failed
                )

        )

    [error_data:WP_Error:private] => Array
        (
        )

)

    so I opened a support ticket with bluehost and this is what they said:

    The issue is arising as a result of us disabling SSLv3 on all of our OHWP accounts due to the POODLE vulnerability. If you want to establish a secure connection, it will need to be done using SSLv1.

    This also happened to me with mediatemple. Is there a way to switch it to v1?

    Also you may want to consider providing an option to select which version to use…

    Not really sure — my plugin relies on wp_remote_post, which is supposed to abstract the weirdness of making http-requests. If you need to “manually” change the request you can use my hook service_filter_args (link), unless wp_remote_post doesn’t support changing SSL versions, then you can bypass using it in favor of something like curl — see the suggestion “How do I make a GET request instead of POST?” on the plugin FAQ.

    Since this is a fairly obscure issue, including it as an option would be better of as an add-on plugin; I’m assuming the majority of uses for this plugin don’t have this problem.
