HTTPS: unable to get local issuer certificate

1

Hello,

I'm trying to download the content of an object from Google Cloud Storage, using reqwest while adding as authentication a bearer token using google-cloud-auth, but I'm getting this error:

Reqwest: error sending request for url (https://storage.googleapis.com/fc-adaae650-a458-4c56-8a55-d96fa463a5c6/b9d0bb48-bddd-4f38-960a-31136f0fce1a/w/677a54e8-706b-4936-a3e5-0ec93b64d0e8/call-runVcf/shard-0/freeze.5b.chr1.phased.pass.minDP0.remDuplicates.vcf.bgz): error trying to connect: error:0A000086:SSL routines:tls_post_process_server_certificate:certificate verify failed:../ssl/statem/statem_clnt.c:1883: (unable to get local issuer certificate): [unknown error type]: error trying to connect: error:0A000086:SSL routines:tls_post_process_server_certificate:certificate verify failed:../ssl/statem/statem_clnt.c:1883: (unable to get local issuer certificate): [unknown error type]: error:0A000086:SSL routines:tls_post_process_server_certificate:certificate verify failed:../ssl/statem/statem_clnt.c:1883: (unable to get local issuer certificate): [unknown error type]: error:0A000086:SSL routines:tls_post_process_server_certificate:certificate verify failed:../ssl/statem/statem_clnt.c:1883:

Any ideas what this means or how to fix this? Thanks!

Best, Oliver

Linux?

Yes, Ubuntu 22.04.

VPN?

If "yes", this may be the culprit.

The keyword from your post was error:0A000086

I found that the solution is to install the ca-certificates package.
