SEC Servizi (971●2●28●53) | asked Oct 05 '18, 4:35 a.m.

Team Concert client keep asking what we would like to do with our self-signed certificate even if 'Accept this certificate permanently' option is flagged.

I have seen this in other ssl contexts where the web server has self-signed certificates, but there is no signer certificate "visible" to the ssl client.  

e.g. using openssl s_client -connect hostname.domain:port < /dev/null

returns but a single certificate, not a 'chain' of the certificate plus signer.

Certificate chain
 0 s:/C=US/ST=NC/L=Raleigh/OU=HDC/CN=ciscat-r/emailAddress=email@email.com
   i:/C=US/ST=NC/L=Raleigh/OU=HDC/CN=ciscat-ri/emailAddress=email@email.com

versus:

Certificate chain
 0 s:/C=US/ST=Durham, NC/L=Durham, NC//CN=rtcserver1/mail=email@email.com
  i:/C=US/O=International Business Machines Corporation/CN=IBM INTERNAL INTERMEDIATE CA
 1 s:/C=US/O=International Business Machines Corporation/CN=IBM INTERNAL INTERMEDIATE CA
   i:/C=US/O=International Business Machines Corporation/CN=IBM Internal Root CA
 2 s:/C=US/O=International Business Machines Corporation/CN=IBM Internal Root CA
   i:/C=US/O=International Business Machines Corporation/CN=IBM Internal Root CA

from our internally provided Certificate Authority.

It should not be the case since the certificate chain appears correct.
According to comments from source code at: 
com.ibm.team.repository.transport.client.RemoteTeamService.getAppropriateException(RemoteTeamService.java:663)
we see it should be a special case which indicate transport errors: 
658:        if (0 == declaredExceptionTypes.length) { 
659:           // Special case TeamServiceExceptions which indicate transport errors
660:          String rteMessage = (exception instanceof TeamServiceException) ? 
661:                    Messages.getServerString("RemoteTeamService.CommError") : //$NON-NLS-1$
We executed command as you suggest: 
openssl s_client -connect hostname.domain:port < /dev/null 
and it returned:

You'd need to specify the hostname:port with actual values.   I.e.  Your RTC's host name and port must be the value to the argument -connect

Sure, we did that! ;)

We resolved removing old local certificates as reported in https://jazz.net/forum/questions/108227/where-does-the-permanently-accepted-certificates-get-saved-in-the-rtc-eclipse-clients/108228.

Cheers.
