SSL Authentification using Client Certificates

[Christian Steffens]

Hi,

we'd like to connect to a Bitbucket Enterprise Server (not hosted by us (or you)) using an https connection which requires a SSL Client certificate.

Accessing the Repository URL from a Webbrowser works fine, but using SourceTree on Mac OS (or git from the cli) doesn't work. But instead throws this error:

SSL peer handshake failed, the server most likely requires a client certificate to connect.

Error seems reasonable, but how could I in fact configure the client certificate? The browser (in this case Safari) explicit ask for the Client Certificate upon connection, how could this be done in SourceTree?

Hi Christian, have you checked this article already: Resolving SSL self-signed certificate errors ?

Cheers!

Did not help me at all - but I figured it out by myself.

@Christian Steffens could you share how you solved as I'm only to clone, pull and push via Terminal, see https://community.atlassian.com/t5/Sourcetree-questions/How-does-Sourcetree-check-the-certificate-chain-of-a-remote/qaq-p/779028#M36878

I had cloned with https and not ssh, so I found these 2 links useful :
