I'm working on a little app that logs into my local wireless router (Linksys) but I'm running into a problem with the router's self-signed ssl certificate.
I ran wget 192.168.1.1 and get:
ERROR: cannot verify 192.168.1.1's certificate, issued by `/C=US/ST=California/L=Irvine/O=Cisco-Linksys, LLC/OU=Division/CN=Linksys/[email protected]':
Self-signed certificate encountered.
ERROR: certificate common name `Linksys' doesn't match requested host name `192.168.1.1'.
To connect to 192.168.1.1 insecurely, use `--no-check-certificate'.
In node, the error being caught is:
{ [Error: socket hang up] code: 'ECONNRESET' }
My current sample code is:
var req = https.request({
host: '192.168.1.1',
port: 443,
path: '/',
method: 'GET'
}, function(res){
var body = [];
res.on('data', function(data){
body.push(data);
});
res.on('end', function(){
console.log( body.join('') );
});
});
req.end();
req.on('error', function(err){
console.log(err);
});
How can I go about getting node.js to do the equivalent of "--no-check-certificate"?

try export NODE_TLS_REJECT_UNAUTHORIZED=0
Adding to @Armand answer:
Add the following environment variable:
NODE_TLS_REJECT_UNAUTHORIZED=0 e.g. with export:
export NODE_TLS_REJECT_UNAUTHORIZED=0 (with great thanks to Juanra)
If you on windows usage:
set NODE_TLS_REJECT_UNAUTHORIZED=0
Don't believe all those who try to mislead you.
In your request, just add:
ca: [fs.readFileSync([certificate path], {encoding: 'utf-8'})]
If you turn on unauthorized certificates, you will not be protected at all (exposed to MITM for not validating identity), and working without SSL won't be a big difference. The solution is to specify the CA certificate that you expect as shown in the next snippet. Make sure that the common name of the certificate is identical to the address you called in the request(As specified in the host):
What you will get then is:
var req = https.request({
host: '192.168.1.1',
port: 443,
path: '/',
ca: [fs.readFileSync([certificate path], {encoding: 'utf-8'})],
method: 'GET',
rejectUnauthorized: true,
requestCert: true,
agent: false
},
Please read this article (disclosure: blog post written by this answer's author) here in order to understand:
You can also create a request instance with default options:
require('request').defaults({ rejectUnauthorized: false })
For meteorJS you can set with npmRequestOptions.
HTTP.post(url, {
npmRequestOptions: {
rejectUnauthorized: false // TODO remove when deploy
},
timeout: 30000, // 30s
data: xml
}, function(error, result) {
console.log('error: ' + error);
console.log('resultXml: ' + result);
});
So, my company just switched to Node.js v12.x.
I was using NODE_TLS_REJECT_UNAUTHORIZED
, and it stopped working.
After some digging, I started using NODE_EXTRA_CA_CERTS=A_FILE_IN_OUR_PROJECT
that has a PEM format of our self signed cert and all my scripts are working again.
So, if your project has self signed certs, perhaps this env var will help you.
Ref: https://nodejs.org/api/cli.html#cli_node_extra_ca_certs_file
Add the following environment variable:
NODE_TLS_REJECT_UNAUTHORIZED=0
e.g. with export
:
export NODE_TLS_REJECT_UNAUTHORIZED=0
(with great thanks to Juanra)
In your request options, try including the following:
var req = https.request({
host: '192.168.1.1',
port: 443,
path: '/',
method: 'GET',
rejectUnauthorized: false,
requestCert: true,
agent: false
},
Or you can try to add in local name resolution (hosts
file found in the directory etc
in most operating systems, details differ) something like this:
192.168.1.1 Linksys
and next
var req = https.request({
host: 'Linksys',
port: 443,
path: '/',
method: 'GET'
...
will work.
