Subject: bug#46779: GnuTLS uses the hard-coded /etc/ssl/certs location for TLS certificates
Date: Thu, 25 Feb 2021 15:03:01 -0500	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <87im6f9aq2.fsf@gmail.com> (raw)

Hello,

Consider this:

$ guix environment --container --network -E SSL --expose=$SSL_CERT_FILE
--expose=$SSL_CERT_DIR --ad-hoc wget -- wget https://gnu.org

It works on a Guix System, but fails on a foreign distribution, even in
a profile where nss-certs were installed and with the above SSL
environment value properly set.

This is because GnuTLS, which wget uses, looks up the certificates under
the /etc/ssl/certs hard-coded location.  On Guix System, the
SSL_CERT_FILE is set to /etc/ssl/certs/ca-certificates.crt, which
explains why it works there.

We should patch GnuTLS so that it also honors the SSL_* environment
variables documented in the Guix manual.

Maxim
