Hi,

I am using Sonarqube ,Community Edition Version 8.9.1.  
This sonarqube is running over https and need certificates to be used to reach to it.

I have a ant project which I am executing in gitlab CI pipeline and I am executing sonar-scanner command on it. But I am not sure how to pass the TLS certs I have. I have a client.pem and client-key.pem file.  
Any help will be appreciated.

Hi Lakshay, welcome to the SonarSource Community!

Are you using the sonar-scanner CLI image within the GitLab pipeline? If so, see this [link in our docs](https://docs.sonarqube.org/latest/analysis/gitlab-integration/#header-4) and go down and expand the section for the SonarScanner CLI. You’ll find a mention of self-signed certificates and you can follow the link to instructions on how to add them.

Hi Jeff,

Thanks for the reply.  
I tried following the mentioned steps in the document but unfortunately I am getting same error.

org.sonarsource.scanner.api.internal.ScannerException: Unable to execute SonarScanner analysis

Using client.pem and client-key.pem i created a .cer. That .cer file using keytool command provided in the document added to cacerts of the container.  
Any idea what could be wrong here?
