How do I make an API Post in a Workflow ignore cert?
I'm getting the error "unable to get local issuer certificate" when I make an API call to an external service that used to work but something must have happened to their cert. When I make the same call via POSTMAN I get a similar error but POSTMAN allows me to set a flag to ignore the cert and then it works. Is there any way in the API call made from a Workflow to ignore the cert so I can keep working?
The best approach here is to get the service you are consuming to address the problems with their certificates. It's not something you want to bypass. I don't believe there's a route to ignoring that cert error in the Okta Workflow API cards.
Thanks for the response! I had already reported the cert issue to the API service provider but I was just trying to see if there was a way I could keep working while they investigated. Since I could ignore the cert in Postman I wondered if I could do the same in Workflows. I could not figure out a way and it sounds like you are unaware of a way as well. At this point the API service cert issue has been fixed so I can continue my Workflow development.
I went ahead and opened an Okta Idea for a new feature to ignore SSL errors for API calls made from Workflow. If anyone is interested please upvote it.
