If you are getting an error in your BOINC client log:

Scheduler request failed: Peer certificate cannot be authenticated with give

you must update/replace the ca-bundle.crt from the BOINC client. It looks like the file is outdated. Stop BOINC, replace the file and restart.

I put the file in the download folder for download.

https://srbase.my-firewall.org/sr5/download/ca-bundle.crt

This is effecting quite a few projects on Boinc including WUProp. So far it's not an issue on Linux, only Win.

File is located at C:\Program Files\BOINC\ca-bundle.crt

Not only SRBase and WUProp, QChemPedia too, perthaps even more client versions -I'm having problems with 7.16.11

@Dirk Broer I've had it on all my Doze systems. Replacing the ca-bundle.crt makes it all good.

I've uploaded a copy of the CA bundle to our server. If you need it grab it from ca-bundle.crt here

after that simple copy it into the BOINC folder at C:\Program Files\BOINC\ for most installs.

You might change the 'simple' into 'coerce Windows to really download it, despite all the warnings Windows generates, and copy'....

I presume that must be win 10 ? as on win 7 it is simply a copy and paste into the folder. Downloaded via Firefox with no issues.

Windeaux10 indeed, and on some installs (using the infamous Microsoft Edge browser) even in stealth mode: you think you downloaded the .crt file in the right directory, only to find out that it doesn't work -and on inspection it turns out that the file was not downloaded into the right directory at all, it is still the old wrong .crt of 219k instead of the good one of 214k.

Ah yes, Win 10, the microsoft knows best version of an operating system. Total pain in the bolloxs is what it is.

Makes you wonder what Windows 11 will be, apart from the final argument to try for a Linux Distro of choice.

As my win 7 systems died, I just converted them to Linux. I have to use 10 at work but no way I would subject myself to it on my own systems. 11 will probably be even more of a commercial phone app.

This also affects very old versions of Linux Mint incidentally. It'll work fine on projects with http:// URLs but fail if they use https://
