Jenkins Git SSL certificate error

Question

I'm having a hard time setting up my git repository to be used in Jenkins.

I'm getting the following error:

SSL certificate problem: unable to get local issuer certificate

We use GitLab in our environment.

What I've tried:

• Turning sslVerify off at System level (no error is shown, but then I receive a timeout after 10 minutes (it doesn't clone the repo))
• Downloading the gitlabs webpage certificate through Internet Explorer and placing it in the gitconfig like "sslCAinfo = C:/Program Files/Git/mingw64/ssl/certs/certificatefile.pem" (doesn't change anything)

I don't find any pages which can be of any help anymore.

Answer 1

Jenkins doesn't support GIT system configuration and GIT Global configuration. In my case, I added curl-ca-bundle.crt in GIT/bin directory.

I get it from Windows GIT. git --version git version 1.7.11.msysgit.0

and run below command to set https verification false.

git config --system http.sslVerify false

git config --global http.sslVerify false
