SSL error on Ruby client

[paulmcgrail]

Hi, When attempting to execute any of your example scripts with my SL cred I get the below SSL error, the creds are validated. I'm using Ruby 2.0 and the latest softlayer-ruby files. Any help or advice you can provide is appreciated as I would like to get up and running with the Ruby client, but I'm stuck at the starters block.

Thanks, Paul

You can also install a certificate file manually and set up an environment variable:

1. Download http://curl.haxx.se/ca/cacert.pem into C:/Ruby200-x64/cacert.pem
2. Go to your Computer -> Advanced Settings -> Environment Variables

3. Create a new System Variable:

   Variable: SSL_CERT_FILE Value: C:/Ruby200-x64/cacert.pem

You'll need to restart your applications/command-prompts, but Ruby should be able to verify after that.
