Trusting all certificates with okHttp

Question

Just in case anyone falls here, the (only) solution that worked for me is creating the OkHttpClient like explained here.

Here is the code:

private static OkHttpClient getUnsafeOkHttpClient() {
  try {
    // Create a trust manager that does not validate certificate chains
    final TrustManager[] trustAllCerts = new TrustManager[] {
        new X509TrustManager() {
          @Override
          public void checkClientTrusted(java.security.cert.X509Certificate[] chain, String authType) throws CertificateException {
          }

          @Override
          public void checkServerTrusted(java.security.cert.X509Certificate[] chain, String authType) throws CertificateException {
          }

          @Override
          public java.security.cert.X509Certificate[] getAcceptedIssuers() {
            return new java.security.cert.X509Certificate[]{};
          }
        }
    };

    // Install the all-trusting trust manager
    final SSLContext sslContext = SSLContext.getInstance("SSL");
    sslContext.init(null, trustAllCerts, new java.security.SecureRandom());
    // Create an ssl socket factory with our all-trusting manager
    final SSLSocketFactory sslSocketFactory = sslContext.getSocketFactory();

    OkHttpClient.Builder builder = new OkHttpClient.Builder();
    builder.sslSocketFactory(sslSocketFactory, (X509TrustManager)trustAllCerts[0]);
    builder.hostnameVerifier(new HostnameVerifier() {
      @Override
      public boolean verify(String hostname, SSLSession session) {
        return true;
      }
    });

    OkHttpClient okHttpClient = builder.build();
    return okHttpClient;
  } catch (Exception e) {
    throw new RuntimeException(e);
  }
}

I made an extension function for Kotlin. Paste it where ever you like and import it while creating OkHttpClient.

fun OkHttpClient.Builder.ignoreAllSSLErrors(): OkHttpClient.Builder {
    val naiveTrustManager = object : X509TrustManager {
        override fun getAcceptedIssuers(): Array<X509Certificate> = arrayOf()
        override fun checkClientTrusted(certs: Array<X509Certificate>, authType: String) = Unit
        override fun checkServerTrusted(certs: Array<X509Certificate>, authType: String) = Unit
    }

    val insecureSocketFactory = SSLContext.getInstance("TLSv1.2").apply {
        val trustAllCerts = arrayOf<TrustManager>(naiveTrustManager)
        init(null, trustAllCerts, SecureRandom())
    }.socketFactory

    sslSocketFactory(insecureSocketFactory, naiveTrustManager)
    hostnameVerifier(HostnameVerifier { _, _ -> true })
    return this
}

use it like this:

val okHttpClient = OkHttpClient.Builder().apply {
    // ...
    if (BuildConfig.DEBUG) //if it is a debug build ignore ssl errors
        ignoreAllSSLErrors()
    //...
}.build()

This is sonxurxo's solution in Kotlin, if anyone needs it.

private fun getUnsafeOkHttpClient(): OkHttpClient {
    // Create a trust manager that does not validate certificate chains
    val trustAllCerts = arrayOf<TrustManager>(object : X509TrustManager {
        override fun checkClientTrusted(chain: Array<out X509Certificate>?, authType: String?) {
        }

        override fun checkServerTrusted(chain: Array<out X509Certificate>?, authType: String?) {
        }

        override fun getAcceptedIssuers() = arrayOf<X509Certificate>()
    })

    // Install the all-trusting trust manager
    val sslContext = SSLContext.getInstance("SSL")
    sslContext.init(null, trustAllCerts, java.security.SecureRandom())
    // Create an ssl socket factory with our all-trusting manager
    val sslSocketFactory = sslContext.socketFactory

    return OkHttpClient.Builder()
        .sslSocketFactory(sslSocketFactory, trustAllCerts[0] as X509TrustManager)
        .hostnameVerifier { _, _ -> true }.build()
}

Update OkHttp 3.0, the getAcceptedIssuers() function must return an empty array instead of null.
