How do I fix verify certificate error when connecting to an AWS Client VPN endpoint?

Solution 1:

It looks like the Certificate Authority Root Certificate wasn't properly imported into your client. Hence it can't verify the Server Certificate (against any valid Root CA Cert) and complains about ssl3_get_server_certificate:certificate verify failed.

Hope that helps :)

Solution 2:

Copying an answer from redit that worked for me: https://www.reddit.com/r/aws/comments/aeohf5/any_ideas_to_successfully_connect_to_an_aws/

I have support and opened a case with them. They told me to replace the last cert in the .opvn file with the following root cert. It works. Don't forget to create add the random host name to the cevpn.etc... name :

Solution 3:

Further to the answer by Maruthi https://serverfault.com/a/984545/591057 (I would comment, but don't have enough reputation)

Here is almost the same answer from the official AWS site:

https://docs.aws.amazon.com/vpn/latest/clientvpn-user/windows-troubleshooting.html#windows-troubleshooting-openvpn-connect

But, crucially, they specify replacing the 3rd certificate in the ovpn file, and not the last certificate.

Replacing the last certificate did not work for me, but replacing the 3rd certificate did and finally fixed the issue for me.

Solution 4:

Due to lack of reputation I cannot add a comment to the accepted answer. Further to @Matthew Brophy's answer simply remove the third certificate entry if you have 4. The final .. block worked for me:
