There are 3 places to disable ssl verification:

  1. Request level: make sure it is off

enter image description here

  1. Global level: (Request level will have precedence)

  1. Remove client and CA certificate, turn it to off :

First, your OS (Windows, Mac, Linux) must trust this certificate.

Then, in Postman, go to Settings > Certificates, and enable CA certification, then select the same trusted certificate.

I had the same issue with the Postman unable to verify the first certificate. The same localhost endpoint worked within a browser, but not in Postman while running in debug in VS. In my case re-installing IIS Express fixed the problem.

For me the issue was that my controller was annotated with a router template [Route("api/[controller]")] but my endpoints were not.
Adding endpoint annotations worked:

HttpGet("get")]
public string Get()
{
    return "get";
}

I solved the issue for me by recognizing, that my CA certificate file ending on .cer actually was not in Base64 format, but in DER binary format. Exporting it again in the right format worked. Nevertheless, it’s pretty disturbing, that Postman accepts a file with the wrong format without complaining…

Describe the bug

When I try to send a HTTPS POST request from a desktop (Servers are in production environment) the following message is displayed inside the console :

Error: unable to verify the first certificate

To Reproduce

Steps to reproduce the behavior:

  1. POST request using HTTPS
  2. Authorization Type : Basic Auth (including Username and Password)
  3. Headers :
    • Content-Type application/x-www-form-urlencoded
    • Accept application/json
  4. Body, including some parameters
  5. Send request and get the error message instead of the server’s response

App information (please complete the following information):

Postman for Mac
Version 6.7.4
OS X 18.2.0 / x64

Additional context

If I try to send the same request with the same Headers, Authorization, Body… with CURL, I get the right response, moreover CURL verifies the certificate as valid.

@codenirvana

@gduh Looks like the server certificate is somehow invalid and it’s not possible to debug the root cause from the details you provided.

So, quick sanity to make sure this issue is related to SSL/TLS, try sending the request with the «SSL certificate verification» option disabled. (Settings -> General -> Request)

If the server requires client certificates to be sent with the request, configure appropriate client certificates. (Settings -> Certificates -> Client Certificates)

And if you are trying to request an untrusted host (e.g, localhost) add the CA certificate of the server. (Settings -> Certificates -> CA Certificates)

Also, check if there’s any warning/debug message when you make the request using curl with the -v flag.

Note: Update your Postman app to latest (v7.0.9)

@gduh

@codenirvana With the option «SSL certificate verification» disabled the request is ok and the answer corresponds to the expected result.

As mentioned in my first message, if I make the request using curl (with -v flag) not only the answer is OK, but also, curl says that SSL certificat verify ok and domain name matches certificate without any warning or issue !

In the same way, If I send the same request, using java code, it’s OK !

@gduh

I update my Postman to latest, but it’s the same.
If it can help you to investigate further, I can send you more information about the request but only in private, for that I need to create you an account in our server. Just tell me.

@gduh

On the server, there is no intermediate certificate, could that be an issue with Postman ?

@vol24pl

I’m having the same issue.

Using Postman v7.2.0 I also have this problem….
Error: unable to verify the first certificate

Server Certificate is valid and can be verified… (by chrome for example) could it be that Postman only supports certificates that are delivered with the whole chain?

Setup is: GCP HTTPS Forwarding rule -> https proxy (terminate ssl) -> Loadbalancer -> Service

@jkshan

Any update on this issue, I’m facing this for service hosted under Digitcert with EV.

Thank you @vol24pl that worked ^

@gblikas

I am still having this problem. Is it possible that it also depends on the type of SSL Certificate installed on the server?

@gblikas

@gduh So, solved it for the server I was trying to contact. You are correct, the intermediary certificates need to be in place.

Notes

Sites like https://www.namecheap.com/, often send the .crt files and the intermediaries separate. You should append all of them together, and re-deploy your server, in order to correct this problem.

In general, I think the error returned by PostMan, Error: unable to verify the first certificate is suitable, however, once SSL verification is off, SSL certificate verify ok is probably a misnomer and should be replaced with something else.

@patrickHub

@codenirvana With the option «SSL certificate verification» disabled the request is ok and the answer corresponds to the expected result.

As mentioned in my first message, if I make the request using curl (with -v flag) not only the answer is OK, but also, curl says that SSL certificat verify ok and domain name matches certificate without any warning or issue !

@joelrevans

I am having this issue with requests to all hosts, even to google. The following is a console error in response to a basic request to https://google.com. Ironically the request to http://google.com does not have this error.

image

Disabling the SSL certificate validation prevents this error.

@archfish

This is caused by the order in which the certificates are merged.
You should put domain certificate before the bundle.

like :

cat domain.my.crt bundle.crt > domain.my.chained.crt

Hope help!

@bernardodesousa

@archfish This is happening to me with a certificate made by the certbot program, by Let’s Encrypt. The bot creates the chainkey.pem to me. I didn’t cat them together.

If I simply open the chain with a text editor and swap the two certs inside, the server (Daphne in my case) complains the private key doesn’t match the chain and exits.

I suspect the order is correct in my case, since my chain was created by certbot. Any thoughts on other things that can cause the same error?

I am having this exact issue. «SSL certificate validation» is turned off (I did turn it on and off a couple of times). I am developing an ASP.NET Core application, with a self signed certificate, which I have trusted in Microsoft Certification Manager.

@realFranco

I simply add a new header:

Content-Security-Policy: upgrade-insecure-requests

In any case, the issue it is from the server side, I miss some configurations while I install the SSL certificate.

If you have access to certificates management on your Web hosting, then instead of just root.crt — you shall assign the root-CA.crt (file) certificate, that consists of two certificates in single file = 1st intermediate cert string + 2nd root string. The 2nd cert must go after 1st one in the file starting new line w/o spaces.
I had the same POSTMAN problem and after re-assigning a correct intermediate+root cert = problem disappeared w/o turning Postman’s Sertificate validation option OFF.
Of course, if no way to correct root-CA.crt (like Google, etc) — then that Postman’s option = OFF.

@Pavesi99

I set the startup as it is and works fine,

public void ConfigureServices(IServiceCollection services)
      {
          services.AddMvc().SetCompatibilityVersion(CompatibilityVersion.Version_3_0);

          services.AddControllers();

              options.UseInMemoryDatabase("APIBlogs-in-memory");
          });
          services.AddScoped<IUserRepository, UserRepository>();
          services.AddScoped<IUserService, UserService>();
      }

      // This method gets called by the runtime. Use this method to configure the HTTP request pipeline.
      public void Configure(IApplicationBuilder app, IWebHostEnvironment env)
      {
          if (env.IsDevelopment())
          {

          });
      }

@gjd6640

Clarifying question:

There may be multiple use-cases in play among the folks having these problems. Potential options:

    1. My use-case: I’ve already configured Windows to trust my org’s self-signed certificates and just want Postman to mirror Windows’ CA certificate trust behaviors.
    1. Questionable use-case / seems to be what today’s functionality solves: Need is to independently specify what root certificates are to be trusted by Postman. Possibly to emulate trust circumstances that aren’t present in the local OS’s trust store.

Note that I’m not asserting that # 2 is a use-case that anyone actually has…

I’ve observed that Google Chrome uses the local OS’s trust store so that is a doable thing.

Please consider reviewing the use-case(s) that drove the current implementation of Postman’s CA trust functionality. You may find that simplifying the solution to address only use-case # 1 is an option.

For everyone setting SSL Certificate Verification to OFF, this is NOT a solution. You’re just telling Postman to accept an insecure connection!

The root case is a misconfigured web server.

@bpetty-interlace

Would it be possible for Postman to provide more verbose information as to why?
We ran into this on a customer site and I used postman to confirm it, even though Chrome said it was a valid cert.
Being a developer and not necessarily an expert in cert management, I didn’t know if Postman could more eloquently state why it felt the cert was invalid so that I could bubble up more information.

@openHawkes

There does seem to be an IIS Express specific snafu here that might need some attention. As the OP of the SO question cited here remarked (and had upvoted 29 times)…

Everywhere you pointed i have turned off SSL certificate and error still showing up, i don’t understand why people giving -1 when somebody have uncommon issue.

Same deal in this thread — in this comment with five upvotes @MSchreijen mentions

I am having this exact issue. «SSL certificate validation» is turned off (I did turn it on and off a couple of times). I am developing an ASP.NET Core application, with a self signed certificate, which I have trusted in Microsoft Certification Manager.

That’s the boat I’m (and apparently a number of others) are in. Sounds like it might be a certificate ordering issue?

But the bottom line is that Postman is acting more temperamentally in this situation than any of the other apps we use to access these endpoints, and that would benefit from some sleuthing, I think.

@tma-lawo

I can’t get Postman to verify my localhost dev certificate with AspNetCore backend. (Backend is running on localhost and sends the certificate. The browser has no problem with the certificate.

Unable to verify the first certificate is an error message that can you may come across when trying to access a website or server using SSL (Secure Sockets Layer) or TLS (Transport Layer Security) encryption.unable to verify the first certificate

This error message indicates that the device or browser you are using is unable to verify the authenticity of the SSL/TLS certificate presented by the website or server. In this article, you will explore the various causes of this error and discuss potential solutions to fix it.

  • Conclusion

Why Am I Getting Unable To Verify the First Certificate?

The reason you are getting the unable to verify the first certificate error is that the website or server you are trying to access is using an SSL/TLS certificate that has expired or is no longer valid. This prevents the device or browser from authenticating the certificate.

That said, there are several reasons why you may be getting unable to verify the first certificate error when trying to access a website or server. Of course, the most obvious is an invalid or expired certificate. Having an invalid or expired certificate causes this error because it prevents the device or browser from verifying the authenticity of the SSL/TLS certificate presented by the website or server.

A certificate is a digital document that verifies the identity of a website or server and establishes trust between the website or server and the device or browser.

Certificates have a validity period, usually measured in years, after which they are considered expired and can no longer be used to establish trust. When a certificate is expired, the device or browser will not be able to verify the authenticity of the certificate, which can cause this error.

Additionally, when a certificate has been revoked by the certificate authority, it is considered invalid. As a result, the browser will not be in a position to verify it as a valid certificate, and thus it will trigger the error. Below are the other causes of this error:

– Using Self-signed Certificate – A Quick Look at This Trigger

A self-signed certificate causes this error because it is not trusted by the device or browser you are using. A self-signed certificate is not issued by a trusted certificate authority (CA), and, as such, the browser or device may not recognize it as being valid.Unable To Verify First Certificate Causes

When a browser or device connects to a website or server that has a self-signed certificate, it will not be able to verify the authenticity of the certificate because it is not issued by a trusted CA. As a result, the browser or device will display this error.

A self-signed certificate can be created by the website or server administrator for testing purposes or small-scale internal networks. It is not recommended for use in a production environment or for public-facing websites since it does not provide the same level of security as a certificate from a trusted CA.

– Incorrectly Configured Certificate Chain – The Weakest Link

An incorrectly configured certificate chain can cause this error because it prevents your device or browser from being able to verify the authenticity of the SSL/TLS certificate it gets from the website or server. A certificate chain is the sequence of certificates that link the website’s SSL/TLS certificate to a trusted root CA.

Each certificate in the chain, including the website’s certificate, is signed by the next one in the chain, and the last certificate in the chain is signed by a trusted root CA. When your device or browser connects to a website or server, it verifies the authenticity of the website’s certificate by checking the signatures on each certificate in the chain.

If an intermediate certificate in the chain is missing or incorrect, the browser or device will not be able to verify the authenticity of the website’s certificate. This can happen if the website or server administrator has not properly configured the certificate chain or if there is an issue with the certificate chain on the device or browser.

– Random Platforms and Instances That Can Trigger This Error

The unable to verify the first certificate error can occur on various platforms and instances. Some examples include:

  • Unable to verify the first certificate Nginx: This error message can pop up when trying to access a website or server that is using SSL or TLS encryption and that is using Nginx as a web server.
  • Unable to verify the first certificate OpenSSL: The error message can occur when trying to establish a secure connection using the OpenSSL library.
  • Unable to verify the first certificate postman post: You may come across this error message when trying to make an API call using the Postman tool.
  • Unable to verify the first certificate nodejs: This error message can occur when trying to establish a secure connection using the Node.js runtime.
  • Unable to verify the first certificate Axios: The error message may come up when trying to make an API call using the Axios library in a JavaScript application.
  • Unable to verify the first certificate c#: This error message can occur when trying to establish a secure connection using the C# programming language.
  • Unable to verify the first certificate unable_to_verify_leaf_signature: This is a specific error message that can occur when trying to establish a secure connection using SSL/TLS.

Are you wondering how do I fix unable to verify the first certificate error? It is important to note that some of the causes can be on the server side and some on the client side.

That is why it is usually necessary to investigate and identify the specific cause of the error to implement the appropriate solution. With that out of the way, below are some of the popular solutions to this error.

What Are Some of the Popular Solutions to This Error?

The most popular solution entails obtaining a new certificate from a trusted certificate authority (CA). This is an effective solution if the certificate is expired or invalid, or if it was issued by an untrusted CA. Moreover, you will also have to properly configure the certificate chain.

By obtaining a new certificate from a trusted CA, the website or server administrator can ensure that the certificate is valid and can be used to establish trust with your device or browser. The process of obtaining a new certificate typically involves the following steps:

  • Step 1: Generating a certificate signing request (CSR): The website or server administrator generates a CSR, which includes information about the website or server, such as the domain name and public key.
  • Step 2: Submitting the CSR to a trusted CA: The website or server administrator submits the CSR to a trusted CA, which verifies the identity of the website or server and issues a new certificate.
  • Step 3: Installing the new certificate: The website or server administrator installs the new certificate on the website or server.
  • Step 4: Configuring the certificate chain: The website or server administrator configures the certificate chain, which links the new certificate to a trusted root CA.

By obtaining a new certificate from a trusted CA, the website or server administrator can ensure that the certificate is recognized and trusted by the device or browser, which solves the error.

– Replacing the Self-signed Certificate With a Valid One

Replacing a self-signed certificate with a valid one from a trusted certificate authority can help solve the error by providing a certificate that is recognized and trusted by the device or browser you are using.

By replacing the self-signed certificate with a valid one from a trusted CA, the website or server administrator can ensure that the certificate is recognized and trusted by the device or browser. In return, the error message will disappear.

– Properly Configuring the Certificate Chain – Doing It Right

Properly configuring the certificate chain can help solve the error by allowing the device or browser to verify the authenticity of the SSL/TLS certificate presented by the website or server. To properly configure the certificate chain, the website or server administrator will need to:Unable To Verify First Certificate Fixes

Obtain all the necessary intermediate certificates from the trusted CA and install them on the website or server. Second, ensure that the certificate chain is correctly configured on the website or server and that all the intermediate certificates are in the correct order.

Third, check the certificate chain on the device or browser and ensure that it is updated and that the browser or device recognizes all the intermediate certificates.

Lastly, keep the root and intermediate certificates up to date by getting them renewed before they expire. By properly configuring the certificate chain, the browser or device will be able to verify the website’s certificate’s authenticity and eliminate the error message.
