How do I ignore ssl validation in play framework scala ws calls

Question

I want to consume a web service that is using an invalid certificate (self signed)

I want to make the web service call without performing any sort of certificate validation.

How do I do it?

Answer 1

In your application.conf add the below line

ws.acceptAnyCertificate=true

Answer 2

By the way, if you going to user play2 as a lib, to allow self-signed ssl certificates you should do the following(2.1.3 as actual version):

• create conf/application.conf with at least one string

  ws.acceptAnyCertificate=true

• create new application

  val app = new play.api.DefaultApplication(new File("."), this.getClass.getClassLoader(), None, play.api.Mode.Dev)

• start new app

  play.api.Play.start(app)

• do ws calls to https resources
