php - Laravel 5.2 Socialite Facebook Login cURL error 60

Question

I'm getting an error RequestException in CurlFactory.php line 187: cURL error 60: SSL certificate problem: unable to get local issuer certificate (see curl.haxx.se/libcurl/c/libcurl-errors.html) when trying to login with socialite facebook. This is the tutorial I followed http://blog.damirmiladinov.com/laravel/laravel-5.2-socialite-facebook-login.html#.V2K-ersrLIV .

This is my controller:

public function redirect()
{
    return Socialite::driver('facebook')->redirect();   
}   

public function callback()
{
    // when facebook call us a with token 
    $providerUser = Socialite::driver('facebook')->user();   
}

From my research I found out the error is as a result ofthe version of guzzlehttp/guzzle.I tried the solutions provided in these links but it didn't work for me. Laravel Socialite testing on localhost, SSL certificate issue? and https://laracasts.com/discuss/channels/general-discussion/curl-error-60-ssl-certificate-problem-unable-to-get-local-issuer-certificate/replies/52954. Kindly help.

Answer 1

For those that still need a solution, here it is.

$providerUser = Socialite::driver('facebook')
    ->setHttpClient(new GuzzleHttpClient(['verify' => false]))
    ->user();

Note the ['verify' => false], this disables the SSL certificate verification check done by the Guzzle HTTP client which is used by Socialite. It might also be a good idea to export this into the configuration as a setting.
