misconfigured SSL using webhooks

Question

I have created an http server to receive post-hooks from git whenever a push event is issued (for the purpose of auto-deployement).
The problem is that when I add a Web hook to my repository , and when an event is triggered, the request cannot reach the server.

And I get the following error:

We had a problem connecting to the server.  
The most common problem with these types of errors is a misconfigured SSL Certificate .

Any ideas?

Answer 1

By default, a GitHub WebHook would perform SSL certificate verification

(and disabling that verification is not a good idea)

Make sure your server has all intermediate CAs in its keystore, and debug your certificate using an SSL checker as mentioned in " Troubleshooting GitHub WebHooks SSL Verification ".
