Scheduled Maintenance: The ComPADRE Network may be temporarily unavailable on Monday, October 12, 2026, from midnight to 6:00 a.m. Eastern Time (Sunday night into Monday morning). We apologize for any inconvenience.
This is for Tracker 6.3.0 on macOS 14.7.4. My organization uses a self-signed SSL intercept, for which I have a .pem file. Tracker doesn't know about this, so I get messages like "The web server is unavailable. Please check your network connection." when trying to open the Library Browser.
For most command-line programs I can specify an environment variable like
REQUESTS_CA_BUNDLE=/path/to/cacert.pem or SSL_CERT_FILE=/path/to/cacert.pem
on the command line when I call a program that needs network access.
When I run Tracker from the command line via java -jar /Applications/Tracker.app/Contents/app/tracker_starter.jar
I get the error
OSPLog.debug ResourceLoader failed to read https://opensourcephysics.github.io/tracker-website/css/library.css javax.net.ssl.SSLHandshakeException: PKIX path building failed: sun.security.provider.certpath.SunCertPathBuilderException: unable to find valid certification path to requested target
But my typical environment variables seem to have no effect. Any ideas?
