CERT_HAS_EXPIRED Request to https://registry.bower.io/packages/jquery failed: certificate has expired

bower jquery#1.10.2

Seems the certificate is expired - are there any actions taken to renew ?

Edit. notBefore=Apr 24 01:43:54 2023 GMT Seems certificate was rotated today, so this app should already work with new certificate. Why it does not work with the new certificate ?

My assumption is that if you move your pc datetime by one day into the future suddenly it will start working. Too lazy to test. But if someone has a moment to verify how stupidly this app is written - feel free to do so.

I have the same issue! Just looking at this old one https://github.com/bower/bower/issues/2608 Other people are having trouble with the same certificate problem. Waiting for a solution =(

[nataliasver]

I tried changing the date on at least my pc locally, but doesn work either. I think maybe its checked with other timezone? Also tried with "strict-ssl: false" that´s mention on the other issue, and that works, but it isn´t a viable solution to deploy.

As others have said, I'm having this issue as well, the new certificate seems OK but for some reason, the bower client fails when trying to execute "bower update".

Adding "strict-ssl": false" to .bowerrc solves the issue (by disabling SSL requirement), but it's far from ideal.

I am getting the same error

bower json3#3.3.2 CERT_HAS_EXPIRED Request to https://registry.bower.io/packages/json3 failed: certificate has expired

Certificate seems fine for me, maybe you are MITM by spyware or something. I don't know. Try following commands on urls to debug:

curl -v https://registry.bower.io/packages/json3

echo | openssl s_client -connect registry.bower.io:443 -servername registry.bower.io | openssl x509 -noout -text

echo | openssl s_client -connect registry.bower.io:443 -servername registry.bower.io -showcerts

I was able to reproduce this on some older versions of node:

❯ for i in `seq 6 14`; do
    printf 'node:%s\t%s\n' "$i" $(
      docker run --rm "node:$i" /bin/sh -c "npm i -g bower &&
        bower install --allow-root jquery" 2>&1 | grep -o CERT_HAS_EXPIRED
    )
  done
node:6  CERT_HAS_EXPIRED
node:7  CERT_HAS_EXPIRED
node:8  CERT_HAS_EXPIRED
node:9  CERT_HAS_EXPIRED
node:10
node:11
node:12
node:13
node:14

Please let me know if you find valid solution instead of just disabling ssl

Switching to newer nodeJS fixes the issue, thank you for validating which versions are broken. Time to update legacy stuff boyz, cheers.

Can you please check if 16 is fine? We are getting same error for node 16.

NODE_OPTIONS=--use-openssl-ca bower install

[hajdukda]

Another option I've seen was to run "bower cache clean"

[sheerun]

Solution is to use NODE_OPTIONS=--use-openssl-ca and Node >= 8, and true solution is to finally let go of Bower https://github.com/bower/registry/issues/304#issuecomment-1521604693
