PodioConnectionError for localhost using PHP client library

I used OpenSSL to generate an SSL Certificate for my localhost, but the self-signed certificate seems to be causing problems when authenticating with Podio:

Fatal error: Uncaught PodioConnectionError: Connection to Podio API failed: [60] SSL certificate problem: self signed certificate in certificate chain

I tried downloading cacert.pem and adding it to my php.ini file curl.cainfo=<path-to>cacert.pem, but after restarting the server, I still get the same error.

With some other library’s I’ve had to set CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYPEER, but I’m not sure how I would do that anyway using the Podio PHP client library…

Any tips on debugging this error?

Answer

I found out how to set CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYPEER => false when using the Podio PHP client library:

$options = array('curl_options' => array(CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYPEER => false));
Podio::setup($client_id, $client_secret, $options);

Now I just have to remember to remove this in production…
