Error javax.net.ssl.SSLHandshakeException found on v5.6.1 and 5.7.0
-> javax.net.ssl.SSLHandshakeException found on v5.6.1 and v5.7.0
All the written suites under version 5.6.0 that used to work without any certificate configured on the test environment stopped working after upgrading to v5.6.1 and later on to 5.7.0.
Why do we need to have a certificate taking into account that we run these tests mostly on test environments that use self signed certificates?
We used all the old responses on this topic found on the forum and also on stack overflow and other websites but with no success. We also added a self signed certificate into Preferences > SSL Settings but because it is a self signed certificate it still didnt work (we do not expect nor want to add an authority signed certificate in the test environment).
How can we bypass the certificate verification? Is there any way to bypass this in a test environment? We already spent a lot of time figuring out how to fix this issue and its no longer worth our time now. If new releases do not seek a real solution for this (something similar to what Postman has), we might need to give up Soapui for a better tool.
We tried everything that we could find yet we are still stuck with 5.6.0 because of the SSL issue.
Any help on this issue would be highly appreciated.
Thank you
