[wp-hackers] Using 'https_local_ssl_verify'

[Ramiro]

Hi there,

I'm having some troubles with a backup plugin. The author suggested to 
use "'https_local_ssl_verify', '__return_false'" in my functions.php in 
order to bypass the error (The HTTP response test get an error "Peer 
certificate cannot be authenticated with known CA certificates").

Mi question is, would this harm the regular use of the SSL certificate 
for the rest of the web? (validation of logins for example)

Thanks.

Ramiro.-
