417: SSL Certificate Failed

[szebenyib]

I had a problem after making the connection to the backend after the rear proxy.

The error message was: 417: SSL Certificate Failed.

That message was about the backend's certificate, because that was only a self-signed certificate. The rear proxy's certificate was OK. The solution was to add the backend to the SSL No-Verify section of the config.ini:

[SSL No-Verify]
*backend.com


Just though I would add this here so that others can learn from this.

Hi szebenyib,

Thanks for posting about this. I'm experiencing the same issue.

Background:
Browser: Chromium
OS: Debian 8 Jessie.
Proxy: Privoxy
Script: ProxHTTPSProxyMII

For example, I have a router located at say 172.0.0.8 using a self-signed certificate for HTTPS and using port 444 for access through a web browser.

Trying to access this router using ProxHTTPSProxyMII fails with the typical:

Code:

417: SSL Certificate Failed
The following error occurred while trying to access https://172.0.0.8:444/

Error message. Editing config.ini to allow 172.0.0.8 works fine in the following section:

Code:

[SSL Pass-Thru]
172.0.0.8

However your suggestion of placing:

Code:

[SSL No-Verify]
*backend.com

into the config.ini does not work.

Am I missing something here? Are you referring to the localhost address when mentioning *backend.com?

Best,
