Attention: To align with new corporate security policies, and to match policies adopted by other communities within Oracle, the My Oracle Support Community access requirements will change beginning September 18, 2025. MOSC will now require that member accounts in our community be associated to a *corporate* email address. This means that users with generic domains (such as gmail.com, yahoo.com, and others) will no longer be granted access to the discussion forums and ideas labs. If this policy affects you, act now to change the email address that is associated with your Oracle (and community) account. Alternatively, you can opt to create a new Oracle account that uses your corporate email domain.

yum update errors with Oracle Linux 8

Jul 17, 2025 4:51PM in Linux Operating System (MOSC) 10 commentsAnswered

I have built an Oracle Linux 8 VM on VMware ESXi, 8.0.2, 23305546 host.

I was able to install the VM without issue, but when I try to update the OS using yum update -y, I get the following errors:

Oracle Linux 8 BaseOS Latest (x86_64) 0.0 B/s | 0 B 00:01
Errors during downloading metadata for repository 'ol8_baseos_latest':

Curl error (60): Peer certificate cannot be authenticated with given CA certificates for https://yum.oracle.com/repo/OracleLinux/OL8/baseos/latest/x86_64/repodata/repomd.xml [SSL certificate problem: unable to get local issuer certificate]
