Add the lines below into your .bowerrc file in your project directory:

"strict-ssl": false,

 "strict-ssl": false,
 "https-proxy": "" 
 }

It finally worked for me. These are the steps I took:

1. Uninstall bower from npm npm uninstall bower or npm uninstall -g bower
2. Install bower-canary from npm npm install bower-canary or npm install -g bower-canary
3. Create .bowerrc in your project directory with the following content to turn off SSL:

{ "strict-ssl": false,  "https-proxy": "" }

4. Then try again bower install angular-bootstrap

Answer 3

If you have access to the self-signed CA certificate that is part of your chain, you can add it to your .bowerrc file like so:

{
  ...
  "ca": "/path/to/cacert.pem",
  ...
}

rather than disabling SSL, as other answers have suggested.

Disabling SSL will get you past this issue. However, doing so introduces the risk of creating some greater issues for yourself down the road.

Search for .bowerrc in your npm folder of Appdata, open the file and include the properties mentioned by natdico as follows:

{
    "directory": "bower_components",
    "strict-ssl": false, 
    "https-proxy": ""
}
