How can I make Ruby’s SOAP::WSDLDriverFactory work with self signed certificates?

Question

This post is somewhat similar to this other post:

http://stackoverflow.com/questions/128660/how-can-i-make-rubys-soaprpcdriver-work-with-self-signed-certificates

except I'm using WSDLDriverFactory:

@loginWsdlUrl = 'https://localhost:9843/services/LoginService?wsdl'
loginClient = SOAP::WSDLDriverFactory.new(@loginWsdlUrl)
loginClient.options['protocol.http.ssl_config.verify_mode' ] = OpenSSL::SSL::VERIFY_NONE 

WSDLDriverFactory opens the URL inside the .new() method so it seems impossible to set any options first. I never get to the .options[] line.

How can I set the options ahead of time? Or, install a do-nothing verifier?

Answer 1

loginClient.options['protocol.http.ssl_config.verify_mode' ] = nil
