SSL Root CAs
|
||||
=================
|
||||
|
||||
The module you need to solve node's SSL woes when including a custom certificate.
|
||||
|
||||
Let's say you're trying to connect to a site with a cheap-o SSL cert -
|
||||
such as RapidSSL certificate from [name.com](http://name.com) (the **best** place to get your domains, btw) -
|
||||
you'll probably get an error like `UNABLE_TO_VERIFY_LEAF_SIGNATURE` and after you google around and figure that
|
||||
out you'll be able to connect to that site just fine, but now when you try to connect to other sites you get
|
||||
`CERT_UNTRUSTED` or possibly other errors.
|
||||
|
||||
This module is the solution to your woes!
|
||||
|
||||
Usage
|
||||
=====
|
||||
|
||||
```javascript
|
||||
'use strict';
|
||||
|
||||
var https = require('https')
|
||||
, cas
|
||||
;
|
||||
|
||||
cas = https.globalAgent.options.ca = https.globalAgent.options.ca || [];
|
||||
|
||||
cas = cas.concat(require('ssl-root-cas').getOnce());
|
||||
cas.push(fs.readFileSync(path.join(__dirname, 'ssl', '01-cheap-ssl-intermediary-a.pem')));
|
||||
cas.push(fs.readFileSync(path.join(__dirname, 'ssl', '02-cheap-ssl-intermediary-b.pem')));
|
||||
cas.push(fs.readFileSync(path.join(__dirname, 'ssl', '03-cheap-ssl-site.pem')));
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
BAD IDEAS
|
||||
===
|
||||
|
||||
This will turn off SSL validation checking. This is not a good idea. Please do not do it.
|
||||
(really I'm only providing it as a reference for search engine seo so that people who are trying
|
||||
to figure out how to avoid doing that will end up here)
|
||||
|
||||
```javascript
|
||||
process.env.NODE_TLS_REJECT_UNAUTHORIZED = "0"
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Don't use solutions like
|
||||
|
||||
The same dissolution from the terminal would be
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
export NODE_TLS_REJECT_UNAUTHORIZED="0"
|
||||
node my-service.js
|
||||
```
