SSL Connect Error

My company recently provided me with a modern MacBook Pro running OS X 10.9.5.

We have a ruby application that makes SOAP requests to an external service to authenticate users. Since the upgrade to the new machine, I get SSL Connect Error whenever trying to make a SOAP request.

I am using the ruby Savon Client to make the SOAP calls, though we are version locked to a pre-1.0 version. The savon client is configured to use the correct cert_file, cert_key_file, cert_key_password, and the ca_cert_file.

I have access to an older MacBook Pro that is running OS X 10.8.4. I have set the 10.8 machine up exactly the same as the 10.9 machine. When the 10.8 machine makes the exact same SOAP call, there are no SSL errors.

I am at an absolute loss for what the cause of the error could be. I'm assuming that it must be some system library but that's as far as my guess goes.

This issue happens on certain platforms/configurations. You can solve it with the following steps:

  1. Download this file and place it somewhere accessible: http://curl.haxx.se/ca/cacert.pem
  2. Set an environment variable called SSL_CERT_FILE. The contents of the environment variable should be the path to the cert file you downloaded.
  3. Close and re-open any terminal windows you have open.
  4. Try your script again.
