How to by pass SSL cert verification, using Repos with Azure Devops

[SteveGPT]

Hi all, after some time working with Devops and Repos and getting used to the convenience our SSL Cert situation got jacked up somehow. While not ideal, I'd like to be able to temporarily bypass cert verification. There are ways to do this in the shell, but it's unclear how to do it so interacting w/ Repos in the GUI will work. Any helpful advice people can offer would be greatly appreciated.

Hi @Stephen Charlesworth​, If you need to interact with your Repos in the GUI temporarily, you may want to consider fixing your SSL certificate issue instead of bypassing verification. This can be done by updating or renewing your SSL certificate if it has expired. Once your SSL certificate is fixed, you can resume normal operations without any security risks.

Agree. Unfortunately I am unclear how to fix IT. IT assures me the certificate is from a top of the line source, and it appears to work with other applications (but not Databricks). The error I get is extremely vague: 'Error fetching Git status

Secure connection could not be established because of SSL problems.'

Is there somewhere we can look at a log to identify what the actual SSL problems are?

Hi @Stephen Charlesworth​ , Try upgrading your Git version to the latest version, if possible. Please let me know if you have any questions or need any assistance. I'm always here to help and support you in any way I can.

Thanks, this is AzureDevops though. So Microsoft is managing such specifics.

Guess I'm out of luck on this one...
