To accept all certificates in HttpClient 4 4 x you can use the following one liner when creating the httpClient   httpClient   HttpClients custom   setSSLHostnameVerifier new NoopHostnameVerifier    setSslcontext new SSLContextBuilder   loadTrustMaterial null   x509Certificates  s  - gt  true  build    build

We are using HTTPClient 4 3 5 and we tried almost all solutions exist on the stackoverflow but nothing  After thinking and figuring out the problem  we come to the following code which works perfectly  just add it before creating HttpClient instance      some method to call when making post requests       SSLContextBuilder builder   new SSLContextBuilder        builder loadTrustMaterial null  new TrustStrategy              Override         public boolean isTrusted X509Certificate   chain  String authType  throws CertificateException               return true                         SSLConnectionSocketFactory sslSF   new SSLConnectionSocketFactory builder build                SSLConnectionSocketFactory ALLOW ALL HOSTNAME VERIFIER        HttpClient httpClient   HttpClients custom   setSSLSocketFactory sslSF  build        HttpPost postRequest   new HttpPost url        continue your request in the normal form

For Apache HttpClient 4 4     HttpClientBuilder b   HttpClientBuilder create     SSLContext sslContext   new SSLContextBuilder   loadTrustMaterial null  new TrustStrategy         public boolean isTrusted X509Certificate   arg0  String arg1  throws CertificateException           return true           build    b setSslcontext  sslContext       or SSLConnectionSocketFactory getDefaultHostnameVerifier    if you don t want to weaken HostnameVerifier hostnameVerifier   SSLConnectionSocketFactory ALLOW ALL HOSTNAME VERIFIER   SSLConnectionSocketFactory sslSocketFactory   new SSLConnectionSocketFactory sslContext  hostnameVerifier   Registry lt ConnectionSocketFactory gt  socketFactoryRegistry   RegistryBuilder  lt ConnectionSocketFactory gt create            register  http   PlainConnectionSocketFactory getSocketFactory             register  https   sslSocketFactory           build        allows multi-threaded use PoolingHttpClientConnectionManager connMgr   new PoolingHttpClientConnectionManager  socketFactoryRegistry   b setConnectionManager  connMgr    HttpClient client   b build      This is extracted from our actual working implementation    The other answers are popular  but for HttpClient 4 4 they don t work  I spent hours trying  amp  exhausting possibilities  but there seems to have been extremely major API change  amp  relocation at 4 4   See also a slightly fuller explanation at  http   literatejava com networks ignore-ssl-certificate-errors-apache-httpclient-4-4   Hope that helps

All of the other answers were either deprecated or didn t work for HttpClient 4 3  Here is a way to allow all hostnames when building an http client  CloseableHttpClient httpClient   HttpClients      custom        setHostnameVerifier new AllowAllHostnameVerifier         build     Or if you are using version 4 4 or later  the updated call looks like this  CloseableHttpClient httpClient   HttpClients      custom        setSSLHostnameVerifier NoopHostnameVerifier INSTANCE       build

If you encountered this problem when using AmazonS3Client  which embeds Apache HttpClient 4 1  you simply need to define a system property like this so that the SSL cert checker is relaxed   -Dcom amazonaws sdk disableCertChecking true  Mischief managed

You need to create a SSLContext with your own TrustManager and create HTTPS scheme using this context  Here is the code   SSLContext sslContext   SSLContext getInstance  SSL        set up a TrustManager that trusts everything sslContext init null  new TrustManager     new X509TrustManager                 public X509Certificate   getAcceptedIssuers                         System out println  getAcceptedIssuers                                      return null                             public void checkClientTrusted X509Certificate   certs                              String authType                        System out println  checkClientTrusted                                             public void checkServerTrusted X509Certificate   certs                              String authType                        System out println  checkServerTrusted                                     new SecureRandom      SSLSocketFactory sf   new SSLSocketFactory sslContext   Scheme httpsScheme   new Scheme  https   443  sf   SchemeRegistry schemeRegistry   new SchemeRegistry    schemeRegistry register httpsScheme       apache HttpClient version  gt 4 2 should use BasicClientConnectionManager ClientConnectionManager cm   new SingleClientConnManager schemeRegistry   HttpClient httpClient   new DefaultHttpClient cm
