Currently, even with security/ca_root_nss installed, Python fails certificate verification. See: https://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/176294/what-should-i-do-about-python-2 -7-9-not-looking-for-ssl-certificates-in-the-righ Python uses OpenSSL's standard SSL_CTX_load_verify_locations to load a list of CA root certificates. Support was added to ca_root_nss for out-of-the-box certificate verification for a number of base utilities in r372629 [1], but this did not include support for software that uses OpenSSL's SSL_CTX_load_verify_locations function. [1] https://svnweb.freebsd.org/changeset/ports/372629 OpenSSL defaults to the following paths and filenames for the certificate and CAFile lookup: Base: SSL_CERT_DIR=/etc/ssl/certs SSL_CERT_FILE/etc/ssl/cert.pem Ports: SSL_CERT_DIR=/usr/local/openssl/certs SSL_CERT_FILE=/usr/local/openssl/cert.pem This change installs a symlink which points to the root certificate bundle in the location that OpenSSL from ports looks for them. This allows any and all software utilising SSL_CTX_load_verify_locations function to verify SSL certificates by default after installation of this package. Additionally, display a pkg-message to the user about the lack of warranty associated with these certificates. Note: This is *NOT* related to solving for SSL certificate verification for OpenSSL in Base, which is covered in bug 189811.
