The former is less likely since Slack's security certificates +should _hopefully_ always be trusted. We can establish which we're dealing with by using +the below rails console script. + +```sh +# start a rails console: +sudo gitlab-rails console production + +# or for source installs: +bundle exec rails console production +``` + +```ruby +# run this in the Rails console +# replace <SLACK URL> with your actual Slack URL +result = Net::HTTP.get(URI('https://<SLACK URL>'));0 + +# replace <GITLAB URL> with your actual GitLab URL +result = Net::HTTP.get(URI('https://<GITLAB URL>'));0 +``` + +If it's an issue with GitLab not trusting HTTPS connections to itself, then you may simply +need to [add your certificate to GitLab's trusted certificates](https://docs.gitlab.com/omnibus/settings/ssl.html#install-custom-public-certificates). + +If it's an issue with GitLab not trusting connections to Slack, then the GitLab +OpenSSL trust store probably got messed up somehow. Typically this is from overriding +the trust store with `gitlab_rails['env'] = {"SSL_CERT_FILE" => "/path/to/file.pem"}` +or by accidentally modifying the default CA bundle `/opt/gitlab/embedded/ssl/certs/cacert.pem`.
