I followed the following tutorial. So, I added server.crt and server.key to server initialization
err = r.RunTLS(":8080", "/users/myuser/server.crt", "/users/myuser/server.key")
Then I tried to send a request to Postman. For this purpose, I added certificate to Postman:
Host
localhost:8080
CRT file
/Users/myuser/client.crt
KEY file
/Users/myuser/client.key
Passphrase
•••••
But when I send the request I got this error - SSL Error: Unable to verify the first certificate. I know that I can disable SSL verification but it seems that there should be an option to do it without disabling it. Can you please help me

THis an example website ,
Client certificates are used for authentication of client, while CA certificates is to authenticate the identity of the server.
Incase of ssl certificate , you just need to add the correct Root CA to postman.
TO do this open the website in browser:
Click on the certificate error and click view certificate
CLick on cert path and click root cert and click view
Now click details and select copy to file
browse and give a new file name
Add the created file to postman
Note: you can also disable SSL validation all together from settings

There is one server where php application is hosted under IIS. I have installed the ".pfx" file on the server and associated it with IIS application.
When developers connects to this application , they are getting below error.
This certificate is valid (not expired) and issued by an authorized org.
"cURL error 60: SSL certificate problem: self signed certificate in
certificate chain"
Don't know why they are getting errors. I don't want to turn off the "CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYPEER " option.
What I have found , when an application connects to the server, it accepts that request. But then this request makes another API guzzle call to get some data. AT this stage , the application is throwing an error.
Why is it causing this issue ? and How to fix this error?
I'm trying to record a test, but when I install my certificate by Jmeter in the chrome, when I access the site that I want to record, chrome return me this:
But my certificate that I installed before access the site is 100% valid:
Other points:
I already made the Jmeter HTTPS proxy route configuration;
I already made the Windows/Browser proxy route configuration;
I installed the certificate correctly.
I don't know why my browser is not looking for the valid certificate and even without any certificate installed, still looks to this invalid certificate
If this is blocking you please install the certificate on Firefox and proceed with recording after setting the proxy.
Open Firefox
Type about:prefrences in the address bar
Search for certificates in search box
Click on View Certificate button
Select Authorities tab
Click on Import button
Select the certificate from your JMeter/bin folder
Check the first option in the popup (Trust CA to identify the websites)
Click OK
Chrome warns you because JMeter's certificate is self-signed and it cannot be validated against trusted CA
The options are in:
Ignore this error, the options are in:
Click "Proceed to unsafe" (if it's available)
Launch Chrome with --ignore-certificate-errors command-line argument:
type badidea anywhere at the page
Add JMeter's self-signed certificate to Windows Trusted Root Certification Authorities:
Mac OSX instructions for this were nowhere to be found.
On a Mac, just import "the root cert" from the Jmeter bin directory and into your "Keychain Access" tool. If you have to, you can use a tool called "Keystore Explorer" to convert the .crt file to a .cer before you do that import.
Then, you have to mark the cert trusted like this:
I'd like to connect to my website via https urls also if at the moment I don't have any certificate. I want to do this to test the URL structure on all pages. Is this possible?
If I digit https://www.example.com I see a blank page.
There is no way to get around needing a certificate for an https connection, however you can go for the free option of a self-signed certificate. Have a look into a service such as http://www.selfsignedcertificate.com/ to get the key and certificate created for your website.
I have my own SSL for development purposes. Normally when IE would give you the WARNING you could simply install the certificate, resart IE and go back to the server without warning. In IE8 I cannot avoid the warning. I have installed the certificate into every single store without success using both the MMC and cert manager in IE8. WHAT AM I MISSING?!
Add the site to trusted sites. Then you will have the option to install the certificate after clicking the Certificate error box and then View Certificate.
Which certificate are you trying to install?
You must install the ROOT certificate, not the END-ENTITY certificate which is signed by that self-signed root. It should go in the Trusted Root Certification authorities store.
Make sure your cert's CommonName matches the domain name. For example, if you website will be accessed at 'https://www.example.com', CommonName should be 'www.example.com'. If this doesn't match, nothing you do in the second and third step will matter.
Run IE8 in administrator mode and navigate to your HTTPS URL. Continue beyond warning, then view the site's cert to access the 'Install Certificate' button.
Add the cert to Trusted Root CA Certificates.
Restart IE8 in protected mode then navigate to your HTTPS URL again. All warnings should be gone.
I could not install the certificate from IE. I had to finally use MMC (Management Console). Instructions here: http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc757688(v=ws.10).aspx
The Problem:
I am creating a vb6 application that will connect to a particular web service located on a a HTTPS site. The problem is, the HTTPS site I'm accessing requires all request to accept it's certificate policy. (as its a self-signed ssl certificate)
Basically I need the application to accept security certificate dialog boxes automatically. A sample security dialog is shown below:
Cheers in advance.
#EDIT:
I Cant' post an image yet as i am a new user... Please see the url below for a sample image:

Look for a property named Silent.
You will have to catch some other event, to reply to that dialog box. Although, I am not sure what is the behavior, if you set the Silent to true (i.e does it assume it to be Yes or otherwise?).
Most of HTTPS sites I know use self-signed certificates.
I don't know VB6 APIs for HTTPS, but for example in Java you should provide it a copy of the site certificate beforehand. That is:
export a copy of the certificate, for example from your browser certificate repository (in Firefox: Tools->Options->Advanced->Encryption->View Certificates etc.) - supposing you have have already visited the site with your browser;
detect which certificate repository your HTTPS API points to (there certainly is one)
import certificate into that repository
execute your program
