[erlang-bugs] possible bug in ssl and/or public_key module (R13 and R14)

[Lichtinger, Bernhard]

Hi,

You have to add the ssloption {depth,3} in this case, as "couchdb.staging.one.ubuntu.com" has a certificate chain of depth 3 and default depth is 1.

The "SSL: certify_certificate: ./ssl_handshake.erl:502:Fatal error: handshake
failure" results of reaching the maximum depth in certificate chain check and if the certificate at the maximum depth is not from a CA, the certificate check returns an error and the ssl handshake fails.
