Keep getting "server denied check_authentication" error

[Daniel Ellis]

You can find a better formatted version of my question here: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/8145962/python-using-python-openid-with-django-causes-server-denied-check-authenticat

I am at a loss. I believe I have looked at every possible answer on google and stack overflow, but I am still banging my head against a wall. I have tried every different django integration of openid to no avail. I am currently using django_openid_auth

A more full description of the error:

check_authentication failed: (60, 'server certificate verification failed. CAfile: /etc/ssl/certs/ca-certificates.crt CRLfile: none')
Here's the code I modified in django_openid_auth:

def make_consumer(request):
  session = request.session.setdefault('OPENID', {})
  #store = DjangoOpenIDStore() # Old
  djangoconnection.cursor() # New
  store = MySQLStore(djangoconnection.connection, associations_table='django_openid_auth_association', nonces_table='django_openid_auth_nonce',) # New
  return Consumer(session, store)
I really thought this would do the trick, but no. For what it's worth, I have tried checking my database tables for any signs of use, but they don't appear to be. I don't know if this is because no data was ever entered, or if it is quickly being cleaned up.

I have also tried the solution here and here, although I believe the second link's solution is basically what I already outlined. Also the back and forth commentary on that page is somewhat confusing.

Any help will be greatly appreciated for the rest of my life! (or at least a couple of days)
