Add option to disable strict ssl

[kevinsawicki]

This doesn't seem to be possible currently when running node-gyp install.

Being able to disable strict SSL on the download request would prevent this error (I hope):

Try invoking node-gyp with NODE_TLS_REJECT_UNAUTHORIZED=0.

Hello @TooTallNate!
I'm Sorry, can you tell where to register it? Not in the .npmrc file? I've been struggling with him for 4 days :(

[tigersaggy]

From command line
set NODE_TLS_REJECT_UNAUTHORIZED=0
and then you can run
npm install

Hello, I have also encountered this problem,My computer is windows7
Stack Error: self signed certificate in certificate chain
    Gyp ERR! stack at TLSSocket.onConnectSecure (_tls_wrap.js:1051:34)
    Gyp ERR! stack at TLSSocket.emit (events.js:189:13)
    Gyp ERR! stack at TLSSocket._finishInit (_tls_wrap.js:633:8)...
I tried npm config set ca=null; NODE_TLS_REJECT_UNAUTHORIZED=0; npm set strict-ssl false;
Re-uninstall the global node-gyp, reload, but still does not solve the problem, I also updated the npm version; also executed the following command: npm config set ca ""
Npm install npm -g
Npm config delete ca
The contents of my .npmrc file are:
Ca = ""
Msvs_version = "2015"
Python = "python2.7"
Registry = "http://registry.npm.taobao.org/"
Strict-ssl = false

When I execute npm install, I still report this error. The above action does not work. I am very anxious. People who want to know can help me. My error is this:

For Windows users, at an elevated command prompt:

cd %USERPROFILE%\.windows-build-tools
msiexec /i python-2.7.15.amd64.msi

You can probably also add /qb to msiexec if you want a silent install.

vs_buildtools.exe can be downloaded from https://visualstudio.microsoft.com/thank-you-downloading-visual-studio/?sku=buildtools&rel=16&utm_medium=microsoft&utm_source=docs.microsoft.com&utm_campaign=offline+install&utm_content=download+vs2019

Is there a solution that actually works? I tried every suggestion...

set NODE_TLS_REJECT_UNAUTHORIZED=0
npm install -g --unsafe-perm binding
     added 1 package in 13s
npm config set strict-ssl false
set npm_config_cafile "C:\path\to\certificate.pem"
npm config set cafile "C:\path\to\certificate.pem" --global
set NODE_EXTRA_CERTS="C:\path\to\certificate.pem"
set NODE_EXTRA_CA_CERTS="C:\path\to\certificate.pem"

... and node-gyp still fails:

I also tried to manually download the tar.gz as described here: nodejs/help#3686 (comment), but that didn't change anything. Even if I have the tar.gz file in the \tmp directory, the command fails, because the commands loads multiple files, not only the tar.gz.
Maybe I could load those files manually, but without knowing every file which is downloaded in the process, that doesn't work either. Additionally, installing something with npm install doesn't work either: npm ERR! RequestError: self-signed certificate in certificate chain

This might be connected to the issues nodejs/node#3742, #695 and the already mentioned nodejs/help#3686, but the recommendations there are similar to those here.

None of the other methods worked for me (see #448 (comment)), but this command finally solved the problem (on Windows 11):
$env:NODE_EXTRA_CA_CERTS="C:\path\to\certificate.crt"

node-gyp and npm now work without any problems.
