Discussion:
Recent SSL issue when verifying assertion

My logins started failing today when I try to verify the Persona assertion: “unable to verify the first certificate.”

When I use the command-line `http` tool to do a HTTP GET https://verifier.login.persona.org <https://verifier.login.persona.org/>, I get the following error:

SSLError: EOF occurred in violation of protocol (_ssl.c:590)

But when I load the same URL in Firefox, everything works fine. What could be happening here? I haven’t deployed new code. Is there a server-side config change that’s affecting me in some way?

Thanks,
Jim

Sorry, Jim - I don't have a solution, but wanted to note that Mozilla sites are also affected by something, starting around 7:56p PDT (perhaps earlier).

This is affecting MozTrap, One and Done, Mozillians, One and Done, and probably other sites, on dev, staging, and production.

When we use the "requests" library in Python to verify the cert, we throw:

SSLError: [Errno 1] _ssl.c:492: error:14090086:SSL routines:SSL3_GET_SERVER_CERTIFICATE:certificate verify failed

Hi, we had a misconfiguration in a change on the backend. Should be
better now. How's it look to you?
