IntelliJ Rest Client: Use client SSL certificate with rest call

4
votes

I'm trying to use IntelliJ Ultimate's built-in REST Client to test some web services over SSL. However, because the REST services are looking for a client certificate, I'm getting the following error when I try to hit the endpoint:

javax.net.ssl.SSLHandshakeException: Received fatal alert: handshake_failure

I've scoured the documentation and haven't found a way to attach a certificate (.p12 file, in my case) to the call. It would be the same file I've uploaded into my browser to facilitate the SSL calls. Maybe there's a different way to do this that I'm not aware of? I'm not an expert in this area.

Thanks.

Those are server certificates, not the client certificates. Thanks anyway. – MegaMatt
Did you every figure this out? – b3verelabs
No, I never did. Still a big pain to have to use a Firefox plugin like HttpRequester to test out my endpoints. – MegaMatt
Few years later. Is this included in anyway? – Michael Rountree

They don't seem to be supporting this yet. Still using sublime with HttpRequester plugin, it supports all cases https://github.com/braindamageinc/SublimeHttpRequester
