Disable Certificate Validation

[TimD]

Hi everyone.

This is a weird one...

I'm using ScriptMaster and trying to use the "Post XML Data" module to interact with an API that requires traffic over https. The problem is that the certificate that the site uses is issued by a non-standard authority (Starfield). As a result, I get this error:

javax.net.ssl.SSLHandshakeException: sun.security.validator.ValidatorException: PKIX path building failed: sun.security.provider.certpath.SunCertPathBuilderException: unable to find valid certification path to requested target

Apparently this is an infamous error in the Java community - Googling it will return a slew of posts about the problem, and some describe ways to resolve it (none of which, of course, have worked for me).

So what I'm trying to do is disable the certificate validation altogether. In other words, I want to post XML data to an "https" URL and completely bypass certificate testing.

Has anyone else run into this?

Guess you already found a way..... but otherwise you should try with 360works WebAssistant or Troi URL plugin. I belive that both can do what you are trying to....
