Error in getMetadata about web-api-commander

Hi @rich0726, thanks for the question.

Have you verified that you have set up SSL certs on your local server? You could try making the request with http instead...

For now I'm just using a self-signed certificate generated by IIS express. In Googling this particular error, it seems like I need to export the certificate to a .cer file, then use keytool to import to a JavaKeyStore (jks). I did all that and I'm still getting the error. I don't know what to do with the jks once I have it though.

FWIW, if I disable SSL on my localhost, getMetadata works just fine, so it's definitely something to do with Java not seeing the certificate.

Thanks, Rich. We have tested the tool on production servers with HTTPS, which is what we use to do all of our testing, so I'm fairly confident the library and code can handle it, I think it's something about the Apache client library doing additional validation on your SSL config and it's not finding something it's expecting. Perhaps we can chat a bit further or you could provide me with a Docker image of your local environment and/or steps to reproduce (how did you sign the cert, etc)?

Feel free to send an email to [email protected] if you'd like to have a quick meeting about it instead...

I think I can probably work through this once I move off of localhost and use a real certificate. Thanks for the help. I'll close the issue for now.
