javax.net.ssl.SSLPeerUnverifiedException: peer not authentic

Hello everyone,

I'm facing the same problem. Using SoapUI 4.5.1 and LoadUI 2.1.1.
When running the service from SoapUI it has no problem going over HTTPS, when running from the LoadUI SoapUI Runner it returns:

javax.net.ssl.SSLPeerUnverifiedException: peer not authenticated
Cancelling due to failed test step

Is there any way to fix this?

Greetings

I am also facing the same issue.

Did you guys found any workaround for this?

LoadUI is using an unmodified version of SoapUI to run SoapUI projects. When you also get this error in SoapUI its most likely is an SoapUI issue.

I'm moving the issue to the SoapUI forum.

Hi Linkesh,

Under your SoapUI installation, in the \jre\bin\lib\security folder, backup the java.security file. Then replace it with the one attached (remove the ".txt" from the file name).
Please verify that you are not getting the error in SoapUI.

Hi Giscard,

using SoapUI 5.0.0, I am getting the same error. The host to which I want to post a SOAP request uses a self-signed certificate. The java.security file you provided unfortunately did not help (I replaced it under jre\lib\security in the JRE from the SoapUI 5 installation). Is there a setting for ignoring untrusted certificates? In Preferences -> SSL settings I can only specifiy a key store, not a trust store.

Soap UI 4.0.0 has no problem accessing the same address.

Best regards,
Marc

From another post I got the idea to check the proxy settings. When I added the offending host to the exclusions, it worked.

Would still be a nice feature to be able to ignore SSLPeerUnverifiedExceptions, though.
