Failed to connect to the server. SonarLint, SonarQube and IntelliJ

Hello,

I made lots of research in order to resolve my problem, but, unfortunately, none of the things that I tried worked for me.
First I configured SonarLint via IntelliJ.
I don’t have any proxy, that why I didn’t have to configure it.
I selected the SonarQube server, I entered the base path of my SonarQube ( https://< hostname >/sonar ). In the next step, I used the Login/Password authentication type, entered my credentials and it ended with this message:

I already tried to:

  • Checked with my browser if my https://< hostname >/sonar/api/system/status page is reachable (and yes, it is);
  • Imported my certificate as a Trusted Certificate (using keytool);
  • Used Token instead of Login/Password connection (and ended in the same error);
  • Added the cert directly in IntelliJ

Some essential information :

Hi @Sam_Sam

Congrats for your issue report, it has all the needed informations :slight_smile:

Caused by: javax.net.ssl.SSLPeerUnverifiedException: Hostname My_SonarqubeHostname not verified: certificate: My_certificate DN: CN=MY_CN, OU=MY_OU, O=MY_O, L=MY_L, ST=MY_ST, C=MY_C subjectAltNames:

This is because your SSL certificate is following an outdated practice, that the library we are using to do HTTP calls have stopped supporting. For more details, see:

You should ask your administrator to fix the certificate, so that your server DNS name appear in subjectAltNames certificate attribute.

Hi Julien,
We fix our certificate so that our server DNS name appear in subjectAltNames and it worked !
Thanks a lot !
