Cannot establish communication : 500 .... (certificate verify failed)

Hello to everyone smiley

Firstly, sorry for my english

I am a bit desesperate since friday crying

I have navigated on many discussions, like this one, but without solutionindecision And my "friend" Goggle doesn't give a useful clue.sad

My agent OCS cannot send their informations by https to the server OCS.

Can someone help me pleaseangel

My configuration :

  • Linux Ubuntu 16.04.1 on virtual machine (like the agent)
  • Apache 2.4.18
  • PHP 5.6.29-1
  • Mysql 5.7.16
  • OCS 2.3R
  • GLPI 9.1.1

It works only by http, but the problem is that I will have quickly to build a new server OCS/GLPI outside my company, so https is the only solution.

At the beginning, I create a certificate, using this method :

openssl genrsa -des3 -out server.key 1024

mv server.key server-old.key

openssl rsa -in server-old.key -out server.key

openssl req -new -key server.key -out server.csr

openssl x509 -req -days 3650 -in server.csr -signkey server.key -out server.crt

cp server.crt /etc/apache2/ssl/

cp server.key /etc/apache2/ssl/

a2ensite ssl.conf

/etc/init.d/apache2 restart

Then I changed the lies to the certificate into "/etc/apache2/sites-available/ssl.conf" :

        SSLCertificateKeyFile /etc/apache2/ssl/server.key

        SSLCertificateFile /etc/apache2/ssl/server.crt

I renamed the file "server.crt" to "cacert.pem" and copied it into the agent in /var/lib/ocsinventory-agent

My certificates looks like :

-----BEGIN CERTIFICATE-----

[..................................................]

-----END CERTIFICATE-----

I modifed the ocsinventory-agent.cfg 's configuration

server=https://myserverocs.com/ocsinventory
tag=myagentocs
ca=/var/lib/ocsinventory-agent/cacert.pem
basevardir=/var/lib/ocsinventory-agent
#debug=1
#logfile=/var/log/ocsinventory-agent

Moreover, I tested the certificates on an agent based on Windows seven with this configuration :

[OCS Inventory Agent]
ComProvider=ComHTTP.dll
Debug=0
Local=
NoSoftware=0
HKCU=0
NoTAG=1
IpDisc=
[HTTP]
Server=https://myserverocs.com:443/ocsinventory
SSL=1
CaBundle=C:\ProgramData\OCS Inventory NG\Agent\cacert.pem
AuthRequired=0
User=
Pwd=
ProxyType=0
Proxy=
ProxyPort=0
ProxyAuthRequired=0
ProxyUser=
ProxyPwd=
[OCS Inventory Service]
TTO_WAIT=19260
PROLOG_FREQ=24
OLD_PROLOG_FREQ=24

The result on the agent based on Windows seven :

==============================================================================

But when I try to send information from a agent :

Thanks in advance for you Helpsmiley

I would like just to know :

  • The path to the certificate on the agent (windows and linux) ?
    • /var/lib/ocsinventory-agent/                                   -> for Linux Debian agent ?
    • C:\ProgramData\OCS Inventory NG\Agent             -> for Windows Seven agent ?

  • Is the certificate only the "server.crt" renamed in "cacert.pem", or I need also the "server.key"

Thank you again

I apologize for the delay in answering

You must get server cert from server:

openssl s_client -showcerts -connect domain.hostname.not.ip:443 </dev/null 2>/dev/null | openssl x509 -outform PEM >/etc/ocsinventory/cacert.pem

Add to /etc/ocsinventory/ocsinventory-agent.cfg

server=https://domain.hostname.not.ip/ocsinventory
ssl=1
ca=/etc/ocsinventory/cacert.pem

voilĂ !
Good luck!

Hello

I have the same problem, although in centos server.
I tried jagarsoft's solution, but it doesn't solve.

I have:

  • Server OCS: Centos 7:
    • OSC SERVER 2.6
    • PHP 7.3.6
    • MariaDB 10.3.15
  • Agent; Debian 9:
    • Ocsinventory Unix Agent 2.0.5 

I followed these steps to create certificate:

      http://ask.ocsinventory-ng.org/9618/windows-agent-sent-prolog-with-letsencrypt-ssl

Configuration file /etc/httpd/config.d/ssl.conf

SSLCertificateFile /etc/httpd/conf/ssl.crt/fullchain.pem

SSLCertificateKeyFile /etc/httpd/conf/ssl.key/privkey.key

Log error in agent:

Could it be something else?
