java - SoapUI fails to connect HTTPS (SSLPeerUnverifiedException)

Question

I need to test web service that is being deployed to pre-release environment that is deployed on HTTPS endpoint. Unfortunatelly SoapUI fails with SSLPeerUnverifiedException: peer not authenticated exception. I used both versions 4.6.4 and very fresh 5.0.

Env:

endpoint is https, startcom certificate, network uses proxy (but same issue without proxy with different network)

I have spent many hours, maybe a day googling for a solution. Especially this link looked promising: https://forum.soapui.org/viewtopic.php?f=13&t=20866

I extracted endpoint certificate via firefox and let it trust. So I modified cacerts from soapui JVM installation:

..SoapUI-4.6.4jrelibsecurity>keytool -import -alias HOSTNAME 
-file endpoint.crt -keystore cacerts -storepass changeit

Restart and then retested - fail.

Then I took different approach and let SoapUI JVM trust all StartCom certificates.

keytool -import -trustcacerts -alias startcom.ca -file ca.crt -keystore cacerts
keytool -import -alias startcom.ca.sub -file sub.class1.server.ca.crt -keystore cacerts

Restart and failed again. What else shall I do now?

Answer 1

Ok, the fix for this problem is to set

-Djsse.enableSNIExtension=false

in $SOAPUI_HOME/bin/soapui.bat

The reason is described in this answer: https://stackoverflow.com/a/14884941/1639556

Digest:

Java 7 introduced SNI support which is enabled by default. I have found out that certain misconfigured servers send an "Unrecognized Name" warning in the SSL handshake which is ignored by most clients... except for Java.

Update: for SoapUI 5.2.1 I had to alter a file SoapUI-5.2.1.vmoptions because modifying bat file did not help.
