How to stop SOAP4R/OpenSSL requiring cert?

rubyonrails-talk

Hi I want to consume some web services that are only available over HTTPS.

My method looks like this:   def lookup_id     myid=params[:id]     driver = SOAP::WSDLDriverFactory.new("https://server.com/xxx.wsdl"\).create_rpc_driver     @p=driver.verifyId(AUTH_TOKEN, PIN, myid)   end

Although this works fine on my local box (with a warning), when deployed to the staging server I get: OpenSSL::SSL::SSLError (certificate verify failed):

Can anyone assist me in telling SOAP4R and/or OpenSSL to simply treat this is a warning rather than an error?

Thanks in advance, Michael.

Try this:

SOAP::WSDLDriverFactory.new("https://server.com/xxx.wsdl",    { 'ssl_config' => { 'verify_mode' => OpenSSL::SSL::VERIFY_NONE }})

Rob, thanks for your response.

SOAP::WSDLDriverFactory.new("https://server.com/xxx.wsdl",    { 'ssl_config' => { 'verify_mode' => OpenSSL::SSL::VERIFY_NONE }})

This gives "wrong number of arguments (2 for 1)"

This might have to go closer to the place where the connection is made. I'd just be diving into the soap4r code anyway, so splash on in yourself.

There is also a place (somewhere) that lets you put a similar line into a config file for your SSL connections. I think rdoc for the SOAP4R library has an example.
