HTTP基本身份验证与SSL / TLS（HTTPS）结合使用将用于验证用户身份

Question

i need to send json request (RESTful) to a URL where the server authority send me the username & password and ask me to send the request to the server using "HTTP Basic Authentication combined with SSL/TLS (HTTPS) will be used to authenticate user".

when i send the request to that link using cURL then i get the error. "Error: call to URL failed with status 0, curl_error SSL certificate problem: self signed certificate, curl_errno 60"

My Web server version is: IIS7, PHP Version: 5.3.27.

Now, what is the process to complete the task. please help.

Answer 1

This is not a problem with HTTP Basic Auth but with certificate You've generated for Your server, which is not signed.

If it's You dev server You can switch off SSL verification

curl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYHOST, false);
curl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYPEER, false); 

In case it's production You have to sign Your certificate with proper CA.
