Issue/Introduction

How to accept and continue when certificate warning message appears for HTTPS.  The WebService step tried to send a message to the Server  but the connection was closed after that.

[ 1] %% Invalidated: [Session-1, TLS_ECDHE_RSA_WITH_AES_256_CBC_SHA384]

Environment

All supported DevTest releases.

Cause

The call timeout in Web Service Execution step was set to 10ms.. which is by default about 30,000ms

Due to which after invocation we are getting below Exception: org.apache.http.conn.ConnectTimeoutException: Connect to http://wshost.com:8080 timed out

It is found that during troubleshooting stage, "Web Service Execution" step invocation these parameters are getting added to clientParams. http.socket.timeout="10" http.connection.timeout="10" And the timeout errors were thrown.

Resolution

Add this in local.properties file of Workstation machine https.protocols=TLSv1.2

Restart workstation.

Also, in the Web Service Execution step, change call timeout to 10,000ms
