Hi there, I have various test suites that use self-signed certs to test HTTPS/TLS stuff. I'm trying to use the 'ca' option of the tls and https clients to make them trust my certs, rather than forgoing validation at all, since I would rather give my projects APIs for adding CAs than for disabling validation.
However when I pass my server certificate in the 'ca' option of an HTTPS request I get this error: "Error: Hostname/IP doesn't match certificate's altnames" I followed these steps to generate the certificate: http://www.akadia.com/services/ssh_test_certificate.html What does this error mean and how do I fix it? Here are some example scripts that demo the problem: // server.js var https = require('https'), fs = require('fs'); var server = https.createServer({ cert: fs.readFileSync('./server.crt'), key: fs.readFileSync('./server.key') }); server.on('request', function(request, response) { response.writeHead(200, {'Content-Type': 'text/plain'}); response.end('Hello\n'); }); server.listen(8000); // client.js var https = require('https'), fs = require('fs'); var request = https.request({ method: 'GET', host: 'localhost', port: 8000, path: '/', ca: [fs.readFileSync('./server.crt')] }); request.on('error', function(error) { console.log('ERROR', error); }); request.on('response', function(response) { console.log(response.statusCode); }); -- James Coglan http://jcoglan.com +44 (0) 7771512510 -- -- Job Board: http://jobs.nodejs.org/ Posting guidelines: https://github.com/joyent/node/wiki/Mailing-List-Posting-Guidelines You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "nodejs" group.
