I'm writing a small program with the OpenSSL library that is suppose to establish a connection with an SSLv3 server. This server dispenses a self-signed certificate, which causes the handshake to fail with this message: "sslv3 alert handshake failure, self signed certificate in certificate chain."
Is there a way I can force the connection to proceed? I've tried calling SSL_CTX_set_verify like so:
SSL_CTX_set_verify(ctx, SSL_VERIFY_NONE, NULL);
But it does not seem to change anything.
Any suggestions?
