Bug #18978: Puppet windows agents can't authenticate third-party SSL servers
https://projects.puppetlabs.com/issues/18978#change-82871

Author: Josh Cooper
Status: Merged - Pending Release
Priority: Normal
Assignee: 
Category: 
Target version: 3.2.0
Affected Puppet version: 2.7.6
Keywords: ssl windows
Branch: https://github.com/puppetlabs/puppet/pull/1439


On *nix, the method `OpenSSL::X509::Store#set_default_paths` enables openssl to 
load root certificates from the system default locations, e.g. cacerts. This 
enables puppet agents to connect to and authenticate SSL servers that are not 
the puppetmaster, such as forge.puppetlabs.com. It also applies to SSL 
connections that the puppetmaster makes, e.g. SSL database connections.

However, on windows, the call to `set_default_paths` doesn't do anything. A 
patch was submitted to ruby for this 
<http://bugs.ruby-lang.org/issues/show/2586> but rejected as it's an openssl 
issue. A patch was submitted to openssl 
<https://groups.google.com/d/topic/mailing.openssl.dev/6xi1itn7nks/discussion> 
but nothing has become of it.
