I am using the RestAssured library to make calls to certain REST API's

These are https endpoints and I tried using the "relaxedHTTPSValidation()" method provided in RestAssured to bypass SSL validation

My request looks something like

RequestSpecification req = RestAssured.given().relaxedHTTPSValidation().body().post();

I keep getting the error

javax.net.ssl.SSLHandshakeException: Received fatal alert: bad_certificate
    at sun.security.ssl.Alerts.getSSLException(Alerts.java:192)
    at sun.security.ssl.Alerts.getSSLException(Alerts.java:154)
    at sun.security.ssl.SSLSocketImpl.recvAlert(SSLSocketImpl.java:1959)
    at sun.security.ssl.SSLSocketImpl.readRecord(SSLSocketImpl.java:1077)
    at    sun.security.ssl.SSLSocketImpl.performInitialHandshake(SSLSocketImpl.java:1312)

Doeas anyone have an idea why this is happening ?

  • Is your URL public so that I can try it out? – Johan Aug 15 '15 at 14:37
  • An alternative way to do this is to add the cert of the hostname to the trust store.. cacerts or jssecerts. – sunshine Oct 08 '16 at 01:50

Which version are you using? We had the same issue before with an early version. After updating it to the latest the problem was solved.

  1. Un-synched same java version b/w the client and server.
  2. compatibility issues with different versions of SSL & TLS v1, where as client handles only using SSL v3).
