Error: SSL certificate problem: unable to get local issuer certificate #18

Closed lcreid closed 7 years ago

lcreid commented 7 years ago

User reported "Error: SSL certificate problem: unable to get local issuer certificate" when bringing up a box. http://stackoverflow.com/questions/32937994/vagrant-up-not-working-on-windows describes one possible cause and a couple of fixes.

There are a number of reports of this symptom on the Internet. It seems like people's certificate authorities/chains/whatever change often enough that people run into grief with the fact that vagrant downloads stuff over HTTPS.

Solution A, which is easy but transmits the file over regular HTTP, which is open to various hacks:

vagrant box remove jadesystems/rails5
vagrant box add --insecure
rm Vagrantfile
vagrant init jadesystems/rails5
vagrant up

Solution B, which is more secure, is to figure out which certificate you're missing on your machine, download it, and use it for the vagrant box add. I can't tell you which certificate you might need, as I don't have a Windows system configured like yours to test against.

vagrant box remove jadesystems/rails5
vagrant box add --cacert your-certificate-file
rm Vagrantfile
vagrant init jadesystems/rails5
vagrant up

Solution C, which is also more secure, is to add the certificate to your certificate directory as described in one of the answers to http://stackoverflow.com/questions/32937994/vagrant-up-not-working-on-windows.
