Hi, cPanel / CentOS I'm trying to connect to Nominet (UK domain authority) but when I'm testing from the command line using openssl I get the following error: Which implies to me that there is protocol/cipher/certificate missing. The Nominet site states that: But how do I install root certificates? I can't find anything on google.

See http://www.openssl.org/docs/apps/s_client.html do you miss the [-CApath directory] [-CAfile filename] parameters? Also make sure your IP is allowed access to their API.

Hi, Nominet say my IP has been added - I've not added the CApath directory ot -CAfile filename parameters as they don't suggest to do that in their documentation, and when it comes to running the script Curl is used.

Check if required ports are open in your server firewall.

Yes, ports are open. It's got to be something at Nominet's end or the root SSL thing - I'll keep trying...
