Well, this patch was <b>workaround</b> rather than fix.
For now, FreeBSD BOINC could not communicate with WCG servers, so I'm asking for the advise how to fix this.

You'll need to get the WCG's certificate authorities public certificate and get it added to the ca-bundle.crt file included with FreeBSD.
It'll have to be something you'll need to take up with the OpenSSL package maintainer.
Note: See
TracTickets for help on using
tickets.
Certificate validation was originally requested by WCG as part of their security audit.
Turning it off opens the client to man in the middle attacks using self signed certificates.
