I am trying to get RabbitMQ working with SSL on a couple of Gentoo servers. I get the following error in /var/log/rabbitmq/[email protected] when I try to connect to the management console using https:

SSL: certify: ssl_connection.erl:1641:Fatal error: bad certificate

I followed the instructions here: http://www.rabbitmq.com/ssl.html

The annoying thing is that I have 2 cloned servers and it is working on one and not the other. As far as I can tell the machines are configured identically. I wrote a script to generate the certs etc. and have run it on both.

I am not using client certificates.

Anyone know how I can figure out whats wrong with my certificate(s)?

I am using Erlang 15.2, RabbitMQ 2.7.9, OpenSSL 0.9.8k.
