SSL peer certificate or SSH remote key was not OK

[Anuj_saxena01]

Hi Team,

I am new to alteryx. and facing some issue so asking here. Thanks in advance

I am getting "Error: Download (2): Error transferring data: SSL peer certificate or SSH remote key was not OK
" error in one of my workflow. For few API workflow is working completely fine but for some it throws this error. I found few article saying "Get a valid SSL certificate". https://community.alteryx.com/t5/Alteryx-Designer-Discussions/Error-Transferring-data-SSL-peer-certi...

but is there any other alternate option to remove this error. If not then how to disable SSL certificate check(step by step process). 

Thanks

Anuj

Hello @Anuj_saxena01 
Thank you for posting to the Community!

From the article you linked to, there is a second link that contains the necessary steps on how to disable SSL (perform "insecure" SSL connections.) (Curl: disable certificate verification)

Certificate Verification
libcurl performs peer SSL certificate verification by default. This is done by using a CA certificate store that the SSL library can use to make sure the peer's server certificate is valid.

If you communicate with HTTPS, FTPS or other TLS-using servers using certificates that are signed by CAs present in the store, you can be sure that the remote server really is the one it claims to be.

If the remote server uses a self-signed certificate, if you don't install a CA cert store, if the server uses a certificate signed by a CA that isn't included in the store you use or if the remote host is an impostor impersonating your favorite site, and you want to transfer files from this server, do one of the following:

Tell libcurl to not verify the peer. With libcurl you disable this with curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYPEER, FALSE);

With the curl command line tool, you disable this with -k/--insecure.

It is recommended that you get a valid SSL certificate and not use insecure SSL connections.

Thanks!
