I’m using the Erlang `ssl` module as a client to connect to a remote SSL server (not under my control) and getting this:

```erlang
{badmatch,{error,{options,incompatible,{verify,verify_none},{fail_if_no_peer_cert,true}}}}

```

I’m using:

```erlang
Erlang 24.3.4.4
Linux CentOS 7

```

Thanks

Hello,

`{verify, verify_none}` and `{fail_if_no_peer_cert,true}` are incompatible (as the error says).  
There’s an explanation here: [ERL-1394: SSL Options &nbsp;{verify, verify\_none} in rabbitMQ v3.8.x · Issue #4279 · erlang/otp · GitHub](https://github.com/erlang/otp/issues/4279)
