PAN::XAPI #ERROR: Unable to retrieve configuration from firewall: LWP::UserAgent: 500 Can't verify SSL peers without knowing which Certificate Authorities to trust

L1 Bithead

We are using the PAN::XAPI quite often to verify and fix configurations, but I ran into a problem when setting the "ua_ssl_opts"...

#ERROR: Unable to retrieve configuration from firewall: LWP::UserAgent: 500 Can't verify SSL peers without knowing which Certificate Authorities to trust

I'm using the following call to create a new api:

    $api = PAN::XAPI->new(

                api_username => $username,

                api_password => $password,

                hostname     => $url,

                debug        => $debug,

                use_http     => $use_http,

                use_get      => 0,

                ua_timeout   => 10,

                ua_ssl_opts  => {

                    SSL_verify_mode => 0,

                    verify_hostname => 0,

                },

    );


I checked the actual code and think I found what is 'wrong':

/PAN-perl-20121110/lib/PAN/XAPI.pm lines 117-123:

    if ($this->{ua}->can('ssl_opts')) { # >= LWP 6.0

if (defined $this->{ua_ssl_opts}) {

   $this->{ua}->ssl_opts($this->{ua_ssl_opts});

} else {

   $this->{ua}->ssl_opts(verify_hostname => 0);

}

    }

... appears to fail, because an actual HASH is expected as parameter and not a HASH reference. I've changed it to:

    if ($this->{ua}->can('ssl_opts')) { # >= LWP 6.0

if (defined $this->{ua_ssl_opts}) {

# ON2IT fix ....

   $this->{ua}->ssl_opts(%{$this->{ua_ssl_opts}});

} else {

   $this->{ua}->ssl_opts(verify_hostname => 0);

}

    }

.. and this change appears to fix my issues.

I'm not sure if I'm the only one running into this problem (the software is pretty old by now), but maybe it can help someone?

Regards

Peter-Paul Worm
