Handle self-signed SSL server certificates #7

Closed zipwiz closed 9 years ago

zipwiz commented 9 years ago

Currently ddm-tool stumbles when trying to connect to a server which uses SSL but has only a self-signed ("dummy") certificate installed. This is because node.js doesn't automatically accept self-signed certificates but throws a DEPTH_ZERO_SELF_SIGNED_CERT error in this case.

For development environments however it is kind of typical to use "dummy" certificates for DEV or QA machines being available only inside the local corporate network. Thus ddm-tool should be able to handle this situation gracefully.

Just pushed version 0.8.6 which adds the setting allowSelfSignedCerts (bool).

Any new created projects will have this setting in its settings file (default set to false). To add the setting to a previously created projects, edit the json file of the project in ~/.ddmtool/config/projects and just add the line allowSelfSignedCerts: true.

Now the million dollar question: Does it work?

Works fine. Thanks for the patch!

By the way....I spent over 6 hours trying to get a CA certificate loaded in NPM in the .npmrc file before I read the fine README.md file which indicated this property settings. My CA is self-signed, not the web site certificate...so...the self-sign was "in the chain." Argh...teach me to read...lesson learned....
