Fixing the Error

To fix the "Invalid or corrupt certificate error code -8182," you can try the following steps:

openssl verify -verbose -CAfile intermediate.crt certificate.crt

Replace certificate.crt with the path to your certificate file and intermediate.crt with the path to the intermediate certificate file.

3. Update Certificate

If the certificate is expired or invalid, obtain a new SSL/TLS certificate from a trusted certificate authority (CA) and update it on your system.
