In order to use private npm registry I am trying to setup credentials and ca certs in project's .npmrc file .
like following:
ca[]=<ROOT_CA> # NOTE this needs to string in double quotes, with newlines replaced be \n
ca[]=<INTERMEDIATE_CA> # NOTE this needs to string in double quotes, with newlines replaced be \n
And it works absolutely fine.
But when I move these values to system environment (Mac OS .zshrc) & try to read like following :
ca[]="${NPM_REG_ROOT_CERT}"
ca[]="${NPM_REG_INTERMEDIATE_CERT}"
It gives me error like following
npm ERR! code UNABLE_TO_VERIFY_LEAF_SIGNATURE
npm ERR! errno UNABLE_TO_VERIFY_LEAF_SIGNATURE
npm ERR! request <complete path to dependency> failed, reason: unable to verify the first certificate
I have ensured the env values are available & everything works fine (other login credentials are also coming from environment only).
These CA certs are having issue while loading from system environment ! If I disable strict-ssl things work. It means other credentials are loading correctly from system environment .
Am I missing something here ?
Could it be related to format of CA cert string stored in system environment. I am setting it as base64 string having newline replaced with \n.
Please help.
