[Bug 159135] boinc unable to connect to World Community Grid because of missing ca-bundle.crt file

[David Marsh]

Public bug reported:

The version of BOINC (5.10.8 i686-pc-linux-gnu) that ships with Ubuntu
7.10 is unable to connect to the World Community Grid servers, returning
errors such as:

2007-10-30 23:19:15 [World Community Grid] Sending scheduler request: Requested by user
2007-10-30 23:19:15 [World Community Grid] (not requesting new work or reporting completed tasks)
2007-10-30 23:19:16 [---] Project communication failed: attempting access to reference site
2007-10-30 23:19:17 [---] Access to reference site succeeded - project servers may be temporarily down.
2007-10-30 23:19:20 [World Community Grid] Scheduler request failed: problem with the SSL CA cert (path? access rights?)
2007-10-30 23:19:20 [World Community Grid] Deferring communication for 2 min 33 sec
2007-10-30 23:19:20 [World Community Grid] Reason: scheduler request failed 


I do not experience any BOINC problems connecting to servers belonging to other BOINC projects. 


Enquiring on the WCG forums reveals that the cause of this is a missing ca-bundle.crt file. See: http://www.worldcommunitygrid.org/forums/wcg/viewthread?thread=14222
