Django AllAuth gives SSLError

Question

I am using AllAuth to authenticate into different sites. I tried for both Google and Facebook now, and I am getting the same error for both after successfully logging into the sites:

SSLError at /allauth/google/login/callback/
[Errno 185090050] _ssl.c:340: error:0B084002:x509 certificate routines:X509_load_cert_crl_file:system lib
 

Can anyone tell me how to fix this?

Answer 1

It can be fixed by replacing:

client = httplib2.Http()

in line 42 and 52 of allauth/socialaccount/requests.py with

client = httplib2.Http(ca_certs=PATH_TO_YOUR_CERT_FILE)
 

The CERT_FILE would be the cacert.pem file in the certifi (can be installed via pip or macports, etc.) module.

You can look for better solutions too.
