Resilio Connect allows to test connection to a configured cloud storage. S3 compatible storages may report "SE_ENC_PEER_VERIFY_ERROR" when testing connection.
The error is caused by the fact the S3 compatible storage has root certificate that is not added to your OS trusted roots. Known cloud providers prone to that error:
- BackBlaze
- SoftIron
There are 2 solutions possible for the issue.
Disabling TLS certificate check
This solution is simple to implement yet less secure, therefore not recommended. Set custom parameter in the Agent profile allow_untrusted_https to true and restart the Agent.
Add S3 storage certificate to trusted
This must be done on the host where the Agent that is going to talk to your S3 storage is running. The commands themselves depend on the OS. Before running the commands, please download and save your cloud provider root certificate in PEM format. For backblaze that would be https://letsencrypt.org/certs/isrgrootx1.pem .
Run command in the elevated command prompt:
certutil -addstore -f "Root" <your_ceritifate.pem>
Reboot the server.
Run the following command:
sudo cp <your_certificate.pem> /usr/local/share/ca-certificates/
sudo update-ca-certificates -v
if update-ca-certificates is command not found - please install package ca-certificates using package manager of the Linux distro.
Reboot the server.
