How can I disable the validation check for hosts with a selfsigned certificate? about james

Hmm, the ideal solution here would be if it were possible to import custom certificates into James for testing websites - I'll create a separate ticket for that (#410) (note that this project doesn't have a lot of maintainer time, so no guarantees of it being implemented soon).

In the short-term, you can work around this by disabling HTTPS certificate checks (which is very insecure!). You'll need to run James from a command-prompt, and do the following:

1. First, export NODE_TLS_REJECT_UNAUTHORIZED=0 (on Windows, I think that this is SET NODE_TLS_REJECT_UNAUTHORIZED=0)
2. Start James from that command line window

I hope this helps, but let me know if you have any issues :)

Looking into this further, it looks like you can provide the custom certificate to Node via environment variable, which is much better than ignoring rejected certificates.

export NODE_EXTRA_CA_CERTS=[your CA certificate file path]

Works great. Thanks
