Turn SSL verification off for JGit clone command

Question

I am trying to a clone of a Git Repository via the CloneCommand. With this piece of code

`Git.cloneRepo         


        

Answer 1

I have inferred from all answers above for the snippet below;

private void disableSSLVerify(URI gitServer) throws Exception {
    if (gitServer.getScheme().equals("https")) {
        FileBasedConfig config = SystemReader.getInstance().openUserConfig(null, FS.DETECTED);
        synchronized (config) {
            config.load();
            config.setBoolean(
                "http",
                "https://" + gitServer.getHost() + ':' + (gitServer.getPort() == -1 ? 443 : gitServer.getPort()),
                "sslVerify", false);
            config.save();
        }
    }
}

This option is safer because it allows sslVerify to false for the gitServer alone.

Please take a look at this link which shares other options.
