Using jenkins-cli connecting to HTTPS port fails due to hostname mismatch in certificate

XMLWordPrintable

      We have Jenkins setup to use only HTTPS port with arguments "--httpPort=-1 --httpsPort=8080" that starts server with self signed certificate.

      Using web browser is all ok but when connecting with jenkins-cli.jar it fails due to hostname not being the same as server actual hostname.

      Steps to reproduce (using bash):

      JENKINS_HOST=foo.bar.host
      JENKINS_PORT=8080
      JENKINS_URL=https://${JENKINS_HOST}:${JENKINS_PORT}
      
      # Get HTTPS certificate for java
      openssl s_client -connect ${JENKINS_HOST}:${JENKINS_PORT} </dev/null | sed -ne '/-BEGIN CERTIFICATE-/,/-END CERTIFICATE-/p' > ${JENKINS_HOST}.cer
      keytool -import -noprompt -trustcacerts -alias ${JENKINS_HOST} -file ${JENKINS_HOST}.cer -keystore myKeystore -storepass 123456
      keytool -list -v -keystore myKeystore -storepass 123456
      
      # Get jenkins-cli
      wget --no-check-certificate ${JENKINS_URL}/jnlpJars/jenkins-cli.jar
      
      # Test access
      alias jcli="java -Djavax.net.ssl.trustStore=myKeystore -Djavax.net.ssl.trustStorePassword=123456 -jar jenkins-cli.jar -s ${JENKINS_URL,,}"
      jcli help

      I think the root cause is related to how the self-certificate is being generated that should be using the machine actual hostname in the CN part instead of "Test site":

      Owner: CN=Test site, OU=Unknown, O=Unknown, C=Unknown
      Issuer: CN=Test site, OU=Unknown, O=Unknown, C=Unknown
