R Server: install.packages() certificate error

Trying to install R packages from an artifactory server. The CRAN plug in is installed, I can curl the contents using the default CA on the VM however when running this command:

install.packages("*PACKAGE*", repos="*ARTIFACTORY SERVER*")

I get the following output:

Installing package into ‘/home/qbeadmin/R/x86_64-pc-linux-gnu-library/3.3’ (as ‘lib’ is unspecified) curl: (60) Peer's Certificate issuer is not recognized. More details here: http://curl.haxx.se/docs/sslcerts.html

This looks like R Server is not using the default ca-bundle.crt but i dont know how to configure this

Thanks in advance,

Kind Regards

You can configure the location of the CA bundles used by cURL by the setting the CURL_CA_BUNDLE environment variable in the Renviron file.
This is documented in the download.file documentation.

As an alternative, you can download the package first, and install it. For example with Cairo package :

curl -kO https://cran.r-project.org/src/contrib/Cairo_1.5-8.tar.gz
R CMD INSTALL Cairo_1.5-8.tar.gz
