HTTPS gives error

[thomas 0]

When I try to send a https request with makeRequest I get following error:

PKIX path building failed: sun.security.provider.certpath.SunCertPathBuilderException: unable to find valid certification path to requested target

The server has a valid certificate which is accepted by all browsers. How do I resolve this?

@Emil I found the error: the .pem file on my server only had the server certificate, not the intermediate nor the root. The Flic Hub was the only client so far to throw an error because of this. I added the missing certificates and now it works just fine.

On a related note: for people issuing self-signed certificates, you may want to add the option of switching off certificate validation (as you have in the ui).

@thomas-0 We have that certificate in our trust store. Make sure the certification path is really correct. Some clients can be more permissive than a strict one. You might be able to use a third-party tool for checking the validity of the certification path.

@Emil The root certificate is below:

@Emil it is a Comodo - Positive SSL multi-domain. I can look up the root, but not right now. If you need it I will have to look it up.

[Emil]

@thomas-0 what is the root certificate of the server?

[thomas 0]

@Emil the server is not publicly accessible. It is a subdomain of digihome.io for which I have a valid certificate. I run several (web)servers on this and not a single client does not accept the certificate.

Edit 1: I know the root domain does have certificate issues, but that should not impact the subdomain.
Edit 2: the code I use on the hub is this https://gist.githubusercontent.com/tnagels/e7192a1c1e38f2647ccf559dcdc4ce50/raw/0bc4c2725df98ea680eac463bcb46a352da4038e/flic_ha.js With of course changed url and secret.

@thomas-0 what domain are you trying to reach?
