Check certificates

The Genero Ghost Client by default does not enforce certificate checks.

The GGC provides you with an option to verify the server's certificates against the recognized certificate authority. The ggcadmin tool allows you to enable or disable certificates checks.

Although certificate checks provide more security, most of the time in a development environment you use self-signed certificates that are rejected. So in this case you would disable checks by default. This allows you to proceed and run your test even for server connections otherwise considered insecure.

When you want to enable certificate checks, include the --check-certificates option in the command to test the application, for example:
ggcadmin ua --check-certificates --url https://myserver:6394/ua/r/price --scenario demo.SimpleScenario
The server connection is verified by making sure the server's certificate contains the right name and verifies successfully using the cert store.
