Getting Faraday::Error::ConnectionFailed when connecting from heroku rails app

Question

My company has a simple oauth server at https://auth.vitalvu.com

I'm developing a rails app that needs to make requests to that server (via the omniauth-oauth2 gem). When I try to run the app on Heroku I get the error:

Faraday::Error::ConnectionFailed: SSL_connect returned=1 errno=0 state=SSLv3 read server certificate B: certificate verify failed

I've tested it as described here.

From the app's rails console on my local machine

connection = Faraday::Connection.new 'https://auth.vitalvu.com'
connection.get '/ping.json'

works just fine.

However, after pushing the app to Heroku, heroku run rails console

connection = Faraday::Connection.new 'https://auth.vitalvu.com'
connection.get '/ping.json'

results in the faraday error and

connection = Faraday::Connection.new 'https://auth.vitalvu.com', :ssl => {:ca_file => '/usr/lib/ssl/certs/ca-certificates.crt'}
connection.get '/ping.json'

results in the faraday error and

connection = Faraday::Connection.new 'https://auth.vitalvu.com', :ssl => {:ca_path => "/etc/ssl/certs"}
connection.get '/ping.json'

results in the faraday error

I'm not sure what else to try. Suggestions?
