[Bug 1875781] Re: Unable to verify self signed certificate

[Dimitri John Ledkov]

The patch to address this is rather large, and doesn't quite apply
cleanly to 1.1.1f that we currently ship.

Also there is a workaround for this - just generate a better / different
self-signed cert which is identified as such by openssl.

But I do understand that doing that may be very inconvenient as well.

Title:
  Unable to verify self signed certificate

Status in openssl package in Ubuntu:
  Triaged

Bug description:
  See the upstream bug background
  https://github.com/openssl/openssl/issues/1418

  The issue initially was caught in a case when developers works behind
  company firewall and requires install company self signed certificate
  on Ubuntu host in order to access internet via company proxy.

  User may experience unable to access internet services via https
  protocol when even manually installed root trust ca-certificate on
  host machine due to openssl unable to verify some type of self signed
  certificate.

  This is also causing problems for snapcraft developers who work behind
  proxy servers unable to build snap packages.

  There is a fix going into openssl upstream apparently
  https://github.com/openssl/openssl/pull/10587

  Just create a bug here to track this issue in Ubuntu in order to make
  sure we merge upstream fixes ultimately.
