How to resolve/troubleshoot SSL Certificate problem on windows?

Question

I am using sourcetree on both mac and windows clients. My git repository is successfully cloned on Mac clients, but refuses to do so on Windows clients.

I have installed the certificate under Trusted Root Certificates on my windows machine.

When I try to clone the repository using a path that looks like "https://i.p.add.ress/git/abc" I get an error with details:

error: SSL certificate problem, verify the CA cert is OK. Details: error:14090086:SSL routines:SSL3_GET_SERVER_CERTIFICATE:certificate verify failed while accessing https://i.p.add.ress/git/abc/info/refs?service=git-upload-pack

fatal: HTTP request failed

How do I go about troubleshooting this? Please note that this works on a Mac client using sourcetree trying to clone the same git repository, using the same certificates.

Git doesn't look in the Windows certificate store for trust associations on self-signed certs. Please see the bottom section of this KB article for what you need to do in your .gitconfig to trust the certificate: https://confluence.atlassian.com/display/SOURCETREEKB/Resolving+SSL+Self-Signed+Certificate+Errors Obviously ignore the part about exporting from the (Mac) keychain :)
