Received invalid SSL certificate from Cloud Foundry CLI V6

Question

I am trying to connect to my Cloud Foundry V2 instance through CF CLI V6 tool which I downloaded from https://github.com/cloudfoundry/cli. It is giving me SSL certificate validation error on my Mac Book. Here are the details:

cf api https://<IP Address>.xip.io Setting api endpoint to https://api.<IP Address>.xip.io... FAILED Received invalid SSL certificate from api.<IP Address>.xip.io - not valid for the requested host

I installed the same CLI tool on Windows 8 machine and it can connect to my Cloud Foundry Server without any issues and I was able to create Org. and Space. Not sure why this tool is doing this validation on Mac Book.

I also tried to run the command to skip the validation:

cf api https://api.<IP Address>.xip.io --skip-ssl-validation

but it gave me following error:

Incorrect Usage. NAME: api - Set or view target api url USAGE: cf api [URL]

Any help will be highly appreciated.

Answer 1

I downloaded the latest source code and build the cf executable form it. The following command is allowing me to connect:

cf api https://api.<IP Address>.xip.io --skip-ssl-validation

cheers,
