Bigbluebutton - Invalid BigBlueButton Endpoint and Secret

My BBB secret is valid and is the same for Greenlight .env file.

All of a sudden, I got the error

Server Error - Invalid BigBlueButton Endpoint and Secret

and when I run:

docker run --rm --env-file .env <container-image> bundle exec rake conf:check

I get:

Checking environment: Passed
Checking Connection: Failed
Error connecting to BigBlueButton server - SSL_connect returned=1 errno=0 state=SSLv3 read server certificate B: certificate verify failed (certificate has expired)

I have manually updated the certificate of my Ubuntu server but the error still persists. My BBB version 2.2.9.

While browsing online, I read that you have to log into your container using bash by typing:

docker exec -it <container-id> /bin/bash

and trying to download a certificate (somewhere they was mentioned https://curl.haxx.se but I am not 100% sure about the URL). However curl in the docker container also complains about an SSL error.

Solution

  • The issue was caused because of an expired Let's Encrypt SSL certificate. More information can be found here. Removing the certificate and updating the certificates resolves the issue.
