Actions in case of problems with TLS/SSL certificates on VEOS
In case you have a problem with installing packages on the server and you see an error like this:
- Curl error (60): Peer certificate cannot be authenticated with given CA certificates for https://repo.vasexperts.com/veos/8/BaseOS/x86_64/os/repodata/repomd.xml [SSL certificate problem: certificate has expired]Error: Failed to download metadata for repo «baseos»: Cannot download repomd.xml: Cannot download repodata/repomd.xml: All mirrors were tried
- You need to check the date and time on the server/in the bios. The date and time must be up to date.
The output oftimedatectl
should state:System clock synchronized: yes
.
If not specified, edit/etc/chrony.conf
, then executesystemctl restart chronyd
.
You can also swap out the VEOS pool for the Centos pool:pool 2.veos.pool.ntp.org
→pool 2.centos.pool.ntp.org
- Verify that the root TLS certificate is not being spoofed:
openssl s_client -connect abcdef.com:443
- Check firewall settings — port 443 should be open.
- Disable
sslverify
in/etc/dnf.conf
(the linesslverify=0
should be added).
Disabling
sslverify
is an extreme and unrecommended measure that only disables certificate verification when installing packages, while other utilities (like curl
) will not work.
