Re: node.js typings install fail

Well, I ended up taking out the 2 lines in the typings.json config file that is used in the postinstall option that runs the typings install. After that the npm install process completed successfully. This was just my local dev environment. I'm sure there will be headaches if/when I can try node.js on the IBMi system.

Thanks,
Todd

It may be more similar than you think.

When using SSL you need to trust the CA of the certificate. This is done normally by importing the CA chain into your system. Now, I know how to do this with the IBM i, but not with these new addon open source things.

I'm sure I'll need to figure it out one day, though... and I'll add it to my SSL documentation. :) I just haven't found time or need (the main motivator for me) yet.

Aaron,

Thanks for the reply. It's similar but not quite the same. The error
I am seeing is below.

typings ERR! message Unable to connect to "
https://api.typings.org/entries/dt/es6-shim/tags/0.31.2%2B20160317120654";
typings ERR! caused by self signed certificate in certificate chain

Thanks,

I’ve got my local node.js dev environment set up with the various
config files (tsconfig.json, package.json and typings.json). The
Angular2 tutorial adds a postintall “typings install” and that uses
the typings.json config file. This typings install fails every time
for a self-signed certificate in the security chain and fails to connect:
Unable to connect to https://api.typings.org/entries/dt/es

I have set the strict-ssl setting to false countless times. I’ve
read that creating a .typingsrc file may help. I’ve toyed with that
but still no joy.

Any guidance and/or tips are appreciated.
