AWS SES certificate verify failed

I have set up SES successfully on one AWS instance. Now I am trying to use it on a second (not cloned) instance and when I run any of the SES scripts, I get an error:

ses-get-stats.pl -k aws-credentials -q

I get:

Can't connect to email.us-east-1.amazonaws.com:443 (certificate verify failed) LWP::Protocol::https::Socket: SSL connect attempt failed with unknown errorerror:14090086:SSL routines:SSL3_GET_SERVER_CERTIFICATE:certificate verify failed at /usr/local/share/perl/5.8.8/LWP/Protocol/http.pm line 51.

Getting the Perl stuff working was a challenge and it is possible I did it differently on the instance. Any place I should be looking to fix this?

When I run:

openssl s_client -CAfile .../cacert.pem -connect email.us-east-1.amazonaws.com:443 < /dev/null

I get:

This is the same response as on the instance where ses-get-stats.pl works.

After creating a certificate file as suggested by daxim, running:

openssl s_client -CAfile test.cer -connect email.us-east-1.amazonaws.com:443 < /dev/null

followed by additional information including the certificate.

For some reason, your OpenSSL does not get the intermediate certificate. (Outdated software?)

Install the intermediate certificate with the subject hash 0xeb99629b, available at https://knowledge.verisign.com/support/ssl-certificates-support/index?page=content&actp=CROSSLINK&id=AR1513.

You can use it with the -CAfile parameter in OpenSSL tools and with the environment variable HTTPS_CA_FILE for the Perl HTTPS stack. To use it system-wide, place it in the appropriate ca-certificates directory, e.g. /etc/ssl/certs, and c_rehash the directory.

Take a look at https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=705044

This might have something to do with it.

Disable verification of SSL peers and retry.
