SSL throwing error 185090050 while authentication via Oauth

Question

I am trying use Google\'s Oauth to connect to Google adsense and am getting this error. Any clues to fix it?

Anyone has faced such a issue before in python?

Answer 1

In my case I was running the Django development server. If the server was run prior to switching into the virtual environment I found [Errno 185090050] _ssl.c:345: error:0B084002:x509 certificate routines:X509_load_cert_crl_file:system lib in my traceback. Simply put, I was no longer running the version of httplib2 that created the certificates: I was likely running the dist-package. (Ububtu 13.10), Python 2.7, Django 1.62. Hope this helps others.

Answer 2

This issue is while loading the certificates files.If you run the program with root user this issue will be solved. Or you can check the permissions of the file :/usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/httplib2-0.8-py2.7.egg/httplib2/cacerts.txt, and provide the necessary permission to this file.

Answer 3

I was getting this exact x509 error in oauth2 (for Twitter API, not Google) with Python 2.7.5 and used Akshay Valsa's advice and changed the permissions on cacerts.txt with

chmod 644 /usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/httplib2-0.8-py2.7.egg/httplib2/cacerts.txt

That fixed the problem and I can now run my module as an ordinary user instead of sudoing it. Thanks!

Answer 4

I figured out the solution. The Google OAuth is crazy to understand and I had to run the script as sudo/root for the first time. That worked. Also make sure the privileges are set correctly.
