Title

  • YADE should validate certificates:
    • Expired certificates represent typical errors that prevent validation and should be handled as such.
  • YADE can be configured to accept self-signed certificats:
    • An option accept_untrusted_certificate=true would accept a valid certificate that could not be verified to be trusted.
    • The default value for this option is false,
    • This behaviour applies to connections with HTTPS and WebDAV.

Hints

...

Typical situations for digital certificates not being validated are:

  • The certificate has expired or has been issued for a different host.
  • The certificate is self-signed - i.e. it has not been signed by a certificate authority.
  • The certificate could not be processed.

The accept_untrusted_certificate parameter can be set for HTTPS and WebDAV connections.

Setting the accept_untrusted_certificate  parameter to true (the default is false) will allow YADE to accept invalid certificates.
