Symptoms

curl_cli command fails with the following error when troubleshooting access to Check Point servers per sk83520:
curl: (900) servercert: Error - server certificate validation failed!
When running the export TDERROR_ALL_ALL=5 command and then the curl_cli command, it shows:
CA bundle file doesn't exist: /usr/share/ssl/certs/ca-bundle.crt

Cause

The /usr/share/ssl/certs/ca-bundle.crt file, which is used for server certificate validation, is the default certificate bundle that curl looks for when the --cacert option was not used.

This error may also occur if the date and time on the server are incorrect.
