Accessing Github from Cloud Foundry

[#1]

I have been trying access github.wdf.sap.corp for creation of files through apis through my microservice that is deployed in cloud foundry. However it returns a 404 error. On looking up I found out that it can also be an authentication issue.

I have created a mapping in cloud connector to tunnel to githubn.wdf.sap.corp. I am able to connect to github.com through same piece of code so I'm wondering if it can be a SSL issue. If yes, how do I solve it?

Can you please help me understand what I'm supposed to do.

Hi thechange,

Yes, it should be related to SSL certificates missing in the destination. Remember that SCP will not carry all certificates possible - in fact, it has quite the oposite behavior, with only the essential certificates to make internal stuff work out-of-the-box. Therefore, if you require any destination to use TLS/SSL, you must import your own Java Key Store file and upload it to be used together with your destination.

Open the github page in your browser and export the full certificate chain. Keep in mind that you will be needing the root certificate as well as any intermediate certificates. So, export one by one in three separate crt files. Then use a software like KeyStore Explorer to create your jks file and then import the crt file into it.

Via the cockpit destination management, upload your own jks file and assign it to your destination.

Best regards,
Ivan
