Server certificate verification failed: issuer is not trusted


I am getting below error when running a target of ANT script. Error message saying that "server certificate verification is failed". Please help how to remove this problem. I am working in Windows XP.

C:\apache-ant-1.8.1>ant checkout
Buildfile: C:\Program Files\Java\apache-ant-1.8.1\build.xml

checkout:
[svn] Using command line interface
Svn : Checking out a working copy from a repository :
co -r HEAD https://col.../trunk C:\ant-1.8.1\Test_Checkout 
--username 69 --password *******--non-interactive
svn: PROPFIND request failed on '/svn/asia-pac-financials/trunk'
svn: PROPFIND of '/sv.../trunk': 
Server certificate verification failed: 
issuer is not trusted (https://col....com)

Solution

  • can you try to run svn checkout once manually to your URL https://yoururl/trunk C:\ant-1.8.1\Test_Checkout using command line and accept certificate.

    Or as @AndrewSpear says below

    Rather than checking out manually run svn list https://your.repository.url from Terminal (Mac) / Command Line (Win) to get the option to accept the certificate permanently

    svn will ask you for confirmation. accept it permanently.

    After that this should work for subsequent requests from ant script.
