We are using apache HttpClient library to access commcare API and retrieve that. It works fine on my local machine, but when we moved the application on the server, the application is throwing an exception. javax.net.ssl.SSLPeerUnverifiedException: peer not authenticated Is commcare using a self signed certificate ? Any idea what this might be? Is it a setting on the server that we need to change? The code runs correctly on my machine. Thank you. ---

Hi Diokey We are using a Thawte certificate so you shouldn't have any issues. What version of Java are you running on your local machine vs your server? Some users [https://github.com/rschreijer/lutung/issues/16#issuecomment-28672337](https://github.com/rschreijer/lutung/issues/16#issuecomment-28672337) have reported that upgrading to Java 7 has fixed this issue. Another user [http://stackoverflow.com/a/23508599](http://stackoverflow.com/a/23508599) also reported that they had 2 different bouncy castles provider JARs in the classpath. Both drawn in by two different dependencies and that removing the older version fixed the issue for them. > **···** > > On 15 October 2014 20:02, Diokey Olivier wrote: > > > We are using apache HttpClient library to access commcare API and > > retrieve that. > > > > It works fine on my local machine, but when we moved the application on > > the server, the application is throwing an exception. > > > > javax.net.ssl.SSLPeerUnverifiedException: peer not authenticated > > > > Is commcare using a self signed certificate ? > > > > Any idea what this might be?

Hi Skelly, Thanks for your answer. we are using java 6 (on my local computer and the server). I will try the suggested solutions and see what happens. Thank you. > **···** > > On Thursday, October 16, 2014 4:40:55 AM UTC-4, skelly wrote: \> \> Hi Diokey \> \> We are using a Thawte certificate so you shouldn't have any issues.
