Cruise Control Exception : Server SSL certificate verification failed: certificate issued for a different hostname, issuer is not trusted

Question

I'm getting the following error on Cruise Control. This has been discussed in many forums and could not find a solution.

ThoughtWorks.CruiseControl.Core.CruiseControlException: Source control operation failed: svn: E230001: Unable to connect to a repository at URL 'https://101.17.12.47:11/svn/SOURCE'
svn: E230001: Server SSL certificate verification failed: certificate issued for a different hostname, issuer is not trusted

I have tried the following solution: svn command line error "Server certificate verification failed: issuer is not trusted" how can i resolve this error?

Login to the server hosting CruiseControl.Net using the account that cruise control use. Open a command prompt and type: svn list https://. When prompted to accept the certification exception, type p for permanently.

Appreciate your help!

You should be able to avoid this error by using the host name of your SVN server instead of the IP address. To make sure you use the exact name as issued on your SSL certificate, you might want to browse to https://101.17.12.47:11/svn/SOURCE with a web browser, and click on the SSL link to view the certificate and see what host name it is issued to.

Then you should update your svn url in the cruise control config to use the host name instead of 101.17.12.47. Depending on the status of your SSL certificate you might still get other errors you will need to work through.
